Preston Page

Preston Page is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 35 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, career questions, and struggles with identity and intimacy. He aims to help clients become who they want to be through straightforward, practical work in sessions.

Preston draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered work, and cognitive behavioral methods to meet people where they are. He has worked in private practice, community mental health clinics, inpatient mental health, and substance abuse settings. That range shapes a flexible style that can adapt to different challenges.

His background includes lengthy military service in the US Army, both active duty and National Guard, and many years as a Military Family Life Counselor working with service members at Fort Bragg and other sites. Those experiences inform how he understands stress, trauma, and the effects of service on daily life.

Preston also attends to issues that often accompany long-term stress, such as sleep problems, chronic pain and illness, grief, and compassion fatigue. He supports people exploring gender and sexual identity, including work around gender dysphoria, BDSM and kink, and LGBT-related concerns.

Outside of practice he is married and has a large family including children and grandchildren. He describes a personal connection to the natural world that guides his outlook, and he brings that grounded perspective into his work with clients.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to remote work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match values. It can help with anxiety, depression, life changes, and finding direction in work or relationships. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so a person can clarify wants and needs in their own words; it supports self-esteem and identity work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Preston will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit best with their goals and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes working with a licensed professional possible across distances, which can be helpful for clients balancing career demands or relocation.
