Rebecca Stevenson, LCSW
Fairfax, VA
I’m an LCSW with 20 years of experience helping couples and families, drawing on my background as a social worker, soldier, teacher, and therapist. I specialize in helping couples who are fighting constantly, recovering from an affair, or who have lost their spark. My style is direct, open, and supportive, guiding partners to see each other clearly, interrupt unhelpful patterns, and develop new skills for safe vulnerability and renewed intimacy. I love what I do and feel honored to help couples reconnect and strengthen their relationships.
