About Preston
Preston Page is an LCSW with decades of clinical practice. He brings steady, straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and concerns about self-esteem and intimacy. He also lists men’s wellbeing among his interests and works with adults across many life challenges.
Preston’s background spans private practice, community mental health clinics, inpatient mental health, and substance use treatment settings. He spent many years serving active duty service members and veterans, including roles as a Military and Family Life Counselor. That experience informs his calm, practical approach to common life disruptions and transitions.
In sessions he focuses on helping people become who they want to be. He uses methods that encourage awareness, values-based actions, and clearer thinking. Conversations are meant to be direct and useful rather than overly technical.
Outside the office he describes a strong connection to the natural world and keeps a full family life with a spouse, four children, and eight grandchildren. He is a Vietnam veteran with 23 years of active duty and National Guard service.
Clients can expect a therapist who leans on experience and plain language. He aims to help people sort priorities, manage difficult feelings, and take practical steps toward the life they want.
How core approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions aligned with those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudging relationship where the therapist listens and follows the person's lead to help them find their own solutions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that get in the way and then testing small changes to see if they help. It often works well for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with stress. Preston draws on these approaches to match practical tools to each person's situation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try based on their goals, needs, and preferences. That discussion is ongoing and can change as progress is made.
