Rebecca Kassabian, LCSW
Ashburn, VA
I see committed relationships as the foundation of our emotional well-being. When nurtured, they provide stability, understanding, and connection and when disrupted, they can leave us feeling unmoored. I tailor my approach to each couple, combining context, concrete feedback, and practical skills to strengthen connection and communication. I focus on each partner’s strengths while helping them explore patterns, address challenges, and build healthier dynamics. My goal is to empower couples to communicate effectively, deepen empathy, and create resilient, fulfilling relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right marriage counselor?
While all our of counselors have years of experience specializing in couples therapy and all the challenges and unique situations that it encompasses, we understand it can feel overwhelming choosing the right therapist. That’s why we offer free 15-minute phone consults so you can start sessions with confidence. Reach out to our intake coordinator today to schedule yours.
How long are couples therapy sessions?
The first appointment (your intake session) is an extended 90 minutes. All following sessions are 50 minutes long. After your intake appointment each of you will have an individual session with your counselor. From there you may have more individual appointments but you will typically attend as a couple.
Do you offer both in-person and virtual appointments?
Yes! We want to ensure that scheduling sessions is as easy and stress-free as possible. You can attend sessions in-office, virtually or opt for a hybrid schedule.
