What’s therapy like in Virginia Beach?

You’ll meet with your therapist for about an hour, and dig deeper every session. You might learn new coping skills, address situations that have brought grief or anxiety, or talk about the impacts of a traumatic experience. You and your therapist will make a plan, and your therapist will help you overcome setbacks or limiting beliefs. You and your therapist or psychiatrist will meet regularly until you’ve seen the growth you want.

Yes! Lifebulb works with most major insurance providers. Many insurance plans cover both therapy and psychiatric medication management, including online therapy services. Deductibles and copays may apply, but the average session cost at Lifebulb is around $21.

Therapy can help with more than just major crises or mental health diagnoses. Many people seek therapy for everyday stress, personal growth, or support during difficult life changes. Some signs therapy in Virginia Beach may help include:
- Feeling constantly overwhelmed
- Struggling at work, school, or at home
- Relationship issues
- Difficulty sleeping, focusing, or staying motivated
- Nothing feels fun anymore
- Unhappy with your life and wanting a change
You don’t need to wait until things feel unbearable to start therapy. Support is available whenever you’re ready.

Yes, studies show that online therapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy for many mental health concerns. Online counseling has been shown to successfully treat anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, and more, especially when clients feel comfortable and connected with their therapist.
Online therapy in Virginia Beach may be a good fit if you:
- Want the flexibility of attending therapy from home
- Have a demanding schedule or limited transportation
- Live in an area with fewer local therapy options
- Feel more comfortable opening up in a familiar environment
We also offer online psychiatry in Virginia Beach.

A psychiatrist will prescribe and manage medications for your mental health. A therapist will work with you one-on-one to heal, recover, and grow using talk therapy methods.
Both treat mental health issues and help you live healthier. It’s especially effective to see both a psychiatrist and a therapist at the same time. Lifebulb offers both therapy and psychiatry in Virginia Beach.
