About Ava
Ava Roush is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in West Virginia with nine years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and codependency. She also supports people facing trauma, grief, addictions, and challenges related to identity and intimacy.
Ava uses clear, practical talk in sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). That means she helps people notice what matters, spot unhelpful thinking patterns, manage intense emotions, and look at how relationships affect feelings.
In a meeting with her, expect focused conversations and active tools. She helps people set small, doable goals. She also teaches strategies for mood shifts, sleep problems, and coping with life changes. Sessions cover concrete skills rather than abstract theory.
Ava has experience helping people who have lived through physical, sexual, or emotional abuse. She also works with concerns such as caregiver stress, body image, chronic illness, and grief. Her background includes treating mood disorders and trauma-related issues.
People who struggle with people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing themselves in relationships can find clear next steps. To begin, readers are invited to use the site matching process to schedule a first session and see which session options apply.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Ava often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify personal values and take small actions that align with those values. ACT is useful when someone feels stuck or out of step with what matters to them.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or problematic behaviors. CBT sessions typically include simple exercises and homework to practice new thinking and behavior between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Ava will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people try a therapist without rearranging their whole schedule, while still focusing on skill-building and real-life practice.
