About Aleta
Aleta Gibbs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with four years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Aleta lists additional focus areas including attachment issues, abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, and body image among others.
Aleta uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and keeps sessions practical. She helps people notice what keeps difficult feelings running and develops clearer coping strategies. Conversations tend to be straightforward and paced to what the person can handle.
She pays attention to how past relationships and experiences shape current guilt, shame, and self-judgment. Aleta helps clients name those patterns, practice different responses, and try new approaches between sessions. The aim is to increase emotional regulation and day-to-day functioning rather than promising quick fixes.
Aleta describes her work as collaborative. She listens to what matters most and adjusts the focus as needs change. Sessions can include skills practice, reflection on personal history, and planning for specific stressors.
Practical matters are discussed up front, including how treatment fits into daily life. People are encouraged to review session options and the subscription-based payment structure before scheduling.

Approaches and how online sessions can work
Aleta uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One approach helps people learn specific coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing and attention practices that reduce intensity in the moment. Another approach looks at how past relationships shape current reactions, helping clients identify patterns and try different ways of responding to triggers.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to match methods to the goals and the pace that feels manageable. That means checking in and adjusting tools as needed rather than sticking to a single method.
