About Virginia
Virginia Goodremote is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She brings 23 years of experience to conversations about stress and anxiety. Her approach is grounded in practical support and steady guidance.
She focuses on common, painful problems people face. Those include anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, and addictive behaviors. She also helps with parenting stress, career concerns, relationship struggles, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
In sessions she starts by listening to what matters most to the person in front of her. She looks for strengths and small steps that can reduce distress. Treatment draws on client-centered work that follows the person's pace and priorities.
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice thoughts and try different responses. For people who carry painful memories, trauma-focused methods guide safe ways to process those experiences. Solution-focused strategies are used to plan clear, achievable goals and track progress.
Virginia brings many years of practice to difficult, sometimes overlapping issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, foster care or adoption histories, caregiver stress, and infertility worries. She also supports people dealing with impulsivity, shame, isolation, and complications from intellectual disability. Her style is straightforward and compassionate.
She aims to help people build tools they can use outside sessions and to create plans that fit real life. Sessions are conducted in English and offered through multiple remote formats.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s experience first. The therapist listens closely and follows the pace set by the client, building on strengths and priorities to guide each session. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, empathetic place to sort through stress, anxiety, parenting strain, or relationship worries.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts influence feelings and actions. It teaches practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, coping with life changes, and managing impulsivity.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try strategies, adjust the plan, and pick methods that fit the person’s day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for frequent, brief updates or when writing helps someone organize thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, parenting, and other responsibilities.
