About Virginia
Virginia Goodremote is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who practices from a client-centered perspective. She focuses on helping people feel heard first, and then works with them to set practical goals. Her style is straightforward and supportive for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strains, parenting stress, and trauma-related concerns.
With 23 years of experience, she brings steady clinical practice to common life challenges. She has spent many years supporting people through depression, anger, substance concerns, and coping with major life changes. Her background includes work with issues tied to attachment, adoption and foster care, and strained caregiver roles.
Virginia also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy tools when they fit a person’s needs. That means she may help clients notice patterns of thinking and try small, achievable changes that lead to relief. Trauma-focused methods are also part of her approach for people who have histories of abuse or overwhelming experiences.
She aims to center each person’s strengths and choices in sessions. Conversations are shaped by what the client wants to change and by clear, practical steps that can be tried between meetings. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her years of practice in New York. Before scheduling, users should confirm current session formats and timing through the platform’s booking steps.
How client-centered care and practical therapies work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s perspective. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what they share, and helps them identify their own goals and next steps. This approach is useful when someone wants a supportive space to talk through difficult feelings and decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes to reduce distress. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and problems that respond to skill practice and clear homework tasks. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers ways to address past wounds and reduce the ways those experiences affect daily life. It is used when past events continue to cause strong emotional reactions or avoidance.
Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, and then suggest approaches to try. Clients and the therapist check progress together and adjust the plan as needed.
Session formats are not detailed in the original profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people meet from locations that are convenient for them. Licensed professionals can adapt approaches like CBT and client-centered work to remote sessions to focus on practical change and steady support.
