Preston Page, LCSW

Preston Page is an LCSW with 35 years of clinical experience. He uses straightforward, person-focused care to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. He also supports those coping with grief, addictions, intimacy concerns, and aging and geriatric issues.

Preston draws on practical therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered approaches. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. He helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try new ways of relating, and build everyday routines that feel sustainable.

His background includes work in private practice, local mental health clinics, inpatient mental health, and substance abuse settings. He also served 23 years in the US Army, both active duty and National Guard, and worked as a Military Family Life Counselor with active duty service members at Fort Bragg and other posts.

Preston describes a personal connection to the natural world and brings that grounded perspective into sessions when it fits a person’s needs. He is married and has four children and eight grandchildren, and he speaks from long experience with family life and life stages.

People who come to him can expect a calm, steady presence and practical steps they can try between sessions. He encourages clear goals and regular check-ins to track progress and adjust plans as life changes.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small, values-driven steps even when feelings are hard. It is useful for anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and making life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, mood problems, sleep issues, and coping with stressful situations.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and helping people find their own answers. It supports self-esteem, life transitions, identity concerns, and grief work by creating space to reflect and decide what matters next.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying different tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

Because the profile does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand. It can also help people keep continuity of care across locations. Licensed professionals aim to make sessions practical and focused so therapy can fit into real life.
