Online Therapy for Washington, DC Professionals
In Washington DC, work is often tied to identity. And the toll of that is real.
KonTerra Counseling provides online therapy for professionals carrying the weight of high-stakes work: burnout that rest doesn't fix, anxiety that shows up as constant vigilance, or the slow wearing-down that comes from a workplace that demands your all without giving anything back.
Who we work with in DC
People in mission-driven, high-pressure careers: civil servants, federal employees, and contractors; foreign service officers, diplomats, and staff of international development and humanitarian organizations; and professionals in policy, law, advocacy, and public health. Many are good at their jobs and used to being the one who holds things together. Many are also dealing with layoffs, funding uncertainty, ethical stress, or institutional pressures that makes the work harder to sustain.
What we help with
Burnout and chronic work stress
Anxiety tied to career pressure and uncertainty
Moral injury, when your work conflicts with your values
Global professionals managing relocation and cross-cultural transitions
Addiction and recovery for professionals
How online therapy with KonTerra Counseling works
Sessions take place over a secure video platform. You can meet from home or from any private space.
You need to be physically located in DC during your session, which is a licensing requirement, not a preference.
KonTerra Counseling is a private-pay practice, giving you greater confidentiality and privacy since you control whether any information is submitted to insurance.
Every new client starts with a free 20-minute consultation, so you can see whether we're a fit before committing to anything.

Common Questions
Do I need to live in DC?
You need to be physically in DC at the time of each session. If you live in Maryland or Virginia and work in DC or travel frequently, we will discuss options in the initial free consultation.
Do you take insurance?
KonTerra is a private-pay practice. We provide superbills for clients who want to seek out-of-network reimbursement from their insurer. Reimbursement depends on your plan, so it's worth checking your out-of-network benefits first. Please see our FAQs for more information.
What happens in the free consultation?
It's a 20-minute call. It's a chance for you to ask questions and get a feel for whether we're a good fit. The clinician will also walk you through the logistics of working with us.
