About Aleta
Aleta Gibbs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue, and lists life purpose among her areas of interest. Aleta works with adults who are trying to make sense of a major change or feel unsure what comes next.
Aleta uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people build practical coping skills. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, learning emotion regulation strategies, and practicing ways to respond differently to old problems. Conversations are straightforward and goal-oriented so progress can be tracked over time.
She pays attention to how past experiences affect current choices, including attachment themes, abandonment issues, and adoption or foster care history. Aleta also addresses challenges that come with chronic illness, caregiving, or aging, and she supports people dealing with body image, codependency, or addiction-related concerns.
Aleta aims to help clients strengthen self-awareness and decision-making. She encourages small experiments between sessions to test new ways of acting and thinking. The work is collaborative: clients set priorities and Aleta offers tools and feedback to match those goals.

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Aleta draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skill building and behavioral change. One common approach emphasizes emotion regulation and stress management skills, teaching practical tools to reduce anxiety and handle strong feelings more effectively. Another approach looks at how past relationships shape current patterns, helping people recognize attachment dynamics and try new ways of relating.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will review your goals, current challenges, and preferences and then recommend strategies to try. That recommendation is collaborative and may be adjusted as you learn what helps.
