Fibromyalgia Treatment

Fibromyalgia

Living with fibromyalgia can feel like a daily struggle with pain, fatigue, and frustration that others may not see or understand. The unpredictability of fibromyalgia flare-ups can make everyday tasks difficult and leave you feeling emotionally drained. You don’t have to keep pushing through on your own. As a health psychologist specializing in fibromyalgia treatment, I provide effective, evidence-based therapy for fibromyalgia pain and fatigue. My approach focuses on helping you manage fibromyalgia symptoms, improve sleep, reduce stress, and regain energy for the life you want. If you’re searching for a compassionate fibromyalgia specialist in Virginia, I offer both in-person and virtual therapy options to help you find lasting relief and take control of your health.

At McLean Health Psychology Specialists, we view fibromyalgia through a whole-person lens. Rather than focusing on a single symptom, our goal is to help you develop a comprehensive self-management program that empowers you to take an active role in your health and improve day-to-day functioning. Treatment is designed to address the interconnected factors that influence pain and symptom severity.

Working together, we develop practical strategies to help you:

• Manage pain and flare-ups more effectively

• Improve sleep quality and restore energy

• Reduce stress and calm an overactive nervous system

• Address "fibro fog" and cognitive difficulties

• Pace activities and avoid the boom-and-bust cycle

• Increase physical activity in a sustainable way

• Strengthen coping skills and emotional resilience

• Improve communication with loved ones and healthcare providers

• Reclaim meaningful activities and enhance quality of life
