Joseph (Joe) Gasperini, LCMHC, LPC

Joseph (Joe) Gasperini, LCMHC, LPC is a counselor based in Southern Virginia, with roots in upstate New York and Los Angeles. He is married and a father of eight adult children. Outside of sessions, he enjoys staying involved in his children’s activities, following sports - especially golf - traveling, and learning more about social behavior.

Joe views therapy as a supportive, comfortable space where people can feel heard. When stress feels unmanageable or relationships are strained, counseling can offer structure, perspective, and practical help. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, he works collaboratively with clients to understand what is painful or keeping them stuck, then develop a clear plan of action aimed at reducing distress and helping clients move toward a more positive direction. He also focuses on building strategies that support lasting progress beyond the immediate challenge.

Drawing on a diverse background and personal experience navigating life’s challenges, Joe emphasizes understanding each client’s perspective as the foundation for effective change. His style is interactive, down-to-earth, and non-judgmental, supporting open conversation about whatever feels most important. He holds a BS in Finance and Economics from Syracuse University and an MA in Licensed Professional Counseling from Liberty University. He is also a Certified Anger Management Specialist II, a credential focused on specialized training in anger management support.
