About Virginia
Virginia Green is an AASW social worker with four years of professional experience supporting people feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She focuses on practical steps that help clients manage addiction issues, trauma, low self-esteem and low mood. Virginia aims to make the first step feel manageable and respectful for anyone seeking change.
Her style is warm and non-judgemental. Sessions are conversational and centred on what matters to each person.
Background and approach
She helps clients name unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding, rather than relying on one-size-fits-all solutions. Virginia uses a mix of approaches tailored to the situation. That can mean using mindfulness tools to calm the body, cognitive strategies to shift thinking patterns, or acceptance-based exercises to reduce struggle with difficult emotions.
She also draws on motivational techniques when people want to change habits like smoking or process-related behaviours. Practical problems such as money worries, career direction and social anxiety are common topics. Virginia also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, loneliness and issues that arise for men and young adults.
First responder stress is another area she can help with. Sessions aim to be collaborative. Together they set small goals and test what works between meetings.
This keeps progress practical and focused on everyday life changes.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful mental patterns and commit to actions that match their values. It can reduce struggling with painful thoughts and help with anxiety and life-direction issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments and behavioural changes, which is useful for anxiety, social phobia and mood concerns. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple breathing and attention practices that reduce reactivity and help with stress and cravings linked to addictions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Virginia will discuss options and adapt methods based on a person’s goals, situation and preferences. She treats the process as collaborative, checking in and changing direction if something isn’t helpful.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation and teaching of techniques, phone can be lower-bandwidth and easier to fit into a busy day, chat is good for short check-ins, and messaging supports reflection between sessions. These formats give flexibility for people balancing work, study or family life and make it easier to maintain momentum between meetings.
