Feeling weighed down by anxiety, grief, or the last impact of trauma? Maybe your relationship is also being affected…

Marilee Sonnen, LPC, helps teens, adults, and couples feel more grounded, connected, and confident in who they are.

Marilee isn’t just a therapist—she’s a steady, grounding presence for clients who feel like life has been too loud, too heavy, or too much for too long. She has a natural ability to make people feel instantly at ease, creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can exhale, be real, and know you’ll be met with compassion.

As a trauma-certified counselor in Virginia, Marilee helps individuals, families, and couples navigate anxiety, trauma, grief, and relationship challenges through a holistic, client-centered approach. She understands that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all—sometimes it’s about learning practical tools, sometimes it’s about gentle self-reflection, and often it’s about having someone who can sit with you in the hard moments without rushing you.

Marilee is especially skilled at helping clients heal from past experiences, rebuild self-trust, and find clarity in their relationships. She blends evidence-based techniques with deep respect for each client’s unique story and strengths, empowering them to move forward with confidence.

Her sessions are collaborative and supportive, often infused with moments of lightness that make even the most difficult topics feel safe to explore. Clients leave therapy not only with new coping strategies, but with the sense that they are deeply seen, understood, and capable of creating meaningful change—on their own terms.
