Ava Roush, LPC

Ava Roush is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in West Virginia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and LGBT-related issues. She also supports those coping with trauma, addictions, grief, eating and sleeping problems, anger, bipolar symptoms, and major life changes. Ava offers a straightforward, warm approach for people looking for practical help and steady support.

Her style is upbeat and nonjudgmental. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that fit into everyday life. She adapts communication and plans to match each person’s needs rather than applying one fixed method.

Ava uses a mix of methods drawn from acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and emotionally-focused work. That means she blends skills training, values-based choices, emotion work, and real-world problem solving in sessions. Clients can expect both talking and hands-on practice between meetings.

She brings nine years of counseling experience to her work and describes herself as supportive and engaged. Her background includes helping people who have experienced physical, sexual, or emotional abuse, as well as those with mood and personality concerns.

Sessions are held from her West Virginia practice and are conducted in English. International clients are accepted. Before booking, confirm current session options so you know how meetings will be scheduled.

How Ava’s Approaches Shape Online Work

Ava often draws on acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people clarify what matters most to them and build small behaviors that reflect those values. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing new responses for better mood and functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Ava works with each person to decide which methods fit best for their needs, goals, and comfort level. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress happens.

Session options are not specified here, so confirm the current formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use video, phone, or other agreed arrangements when those formats are available, while the focus in sessions remains on skills practice, emotion work, and planning steps that can be used between meetings.
