Staci Briggs, M.Ed.

Licensed Professional Counselor, VA #0701010734

You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I work with young adults who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, self-exploration, or parenting stress. Whether you’re feeling stuck, burned out, or simply unsure of your next step, therapy can be a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself.

My approach is collaborative and strengths-based. Together, we’ll assess your unique needs, identify triggers and patterns, and build practical coping skills that support your everyday life. I focus on helping you become a fierce self-advocate and confident boundary-setter, empowering you to take an active role in your mental health journey.

In our first few sessions, you can expect a welcoming, nonjudgmental space to share your story, get to know me and my therapeutic style, and begin learning skills tailored to your goals right away. Therapy with me is not just about talking — it’s about growth, clarity, and meaningful change.

What makes my practice unique is the balance I bring between evidence-based therapeutic interventions and genuine humanness. I believe healing doesn’t have to feel clinical or intimidating, so I incorporate humor, creativity, and authenticity to meet each client where they are.

I’m passionate about this work because I truly believe everyone deserves the opportunity to find — and create — peace in their life. My goal is to help you move beyond survival mode and step into a life where you’re thriving, grounded, and aligned with who you are.


Many clients have found success in my office. Your experience in my office is supported by my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from The College of William and Mary and my Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The College of William and Mary School of Education. My combined education includes psychology, sociology, anthropology, and human growth & development, mixed with counseling technique education, theoretical orientation education, family and couples counseling education, and direct practicum and internship experiences. My educational growth did not end at the culmination of my two degrees. On my path to licensure, and what continues today is a mindset of lifelong learning as evidenced by attending continuing education classes that help me stay up to date with the latest information and research within the counseling profession, as well as build on my knowledge and specialties in working with Trauma, PTSD, Anxiety, and Depression in both Children and Adults.
