Lecia has been extremely helpful with both listening and intervening when appropriate. I’ve had many therapists in the past and I prefer having someone’s professional opinion in addition to a sounding board. I appreciate all she’s done for me so far.

Hello; my name is Lecia Thompson and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Virginia. I recognize that life can be challenging leaving you unsure of what is your next step. There are a number of things that equate to effective therapy: expertise, clarity in diagnosis, familiarity and experience. I have developed a passion for helping individuals, couples and families understand, confront, and overcome certain psychological challenges they may face. As a dedicated counseling professional I aim to assist in teaching empowerment, long-term coping strategies and acceptance of one’s unique personality. I believe counseling can bring hope, insight and even wisdom into your life; which is why I offer a personalized, but integrated approach to the counseling process. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. My counseling style is very empathetic, mindful, affirming, warm and client-centered, yet direct and straightforward. I believe in treating everyone with respect and dignity but most importantly I pride myself on demonstrating compassion. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Christopher Newport University, and a Masters in Professional Counseling from Liberty University. As a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 15-years of experience in a variety of counseling treatment settings, I have treated a wide-range of patients. From young adults, individuals, families and couples; I provide a safe, judgement-free space in which you can be heard and feel supported.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Lecia has been extremely helpful with both listening and intervening when appropriate. I’ve had many therapists in the past and I prefer having someone’s professional opinion in addition to a sounding board. I appreciate all she’s done for me so far.
Ms Lecia listens to me and gives me great feedback. She follows up on everything we previously talked about for the sake of progress. I genuinely feel she is here for me.
Lecia Fuller-Martin is very understanding and informative, and I believe she truly listens to my concerns and responds with helpful advice that caters perfectly to my problems.
Dr Fuller-Martin has been a blessing and thanks to the BetterHelp app it’s been easy to schedule an appt to talk to her whenever I need. In the past it was hard to see a therapist within a months time and then they’d just brush me off. She doesn’t do that though and takes me seriously. I definitely recommend giving the app a shot or recommend talking to Dr Fuller-Martin.
LPC Lecia Fuller-Martin has been amazingly compassionate and sensitive to my story and my needs. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to find a therapist that truly fits but I was matched with the perfect therapist for me. I’m thankful for this experience and I’m thankful she is my therapist
Lecia is great. It is easy to talk to her, and I feel like she listens to me and understands my concerns. I have worked with Lecia for only a short time, but I feel like she has helped me make progress.
