About Virginia
Virginia Goodremote is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 23 years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and stress. Virginia also addresses ADHD, self-esteem, addictions, anger, career stress, and intimacy-related problems.
Her work emphasizes listening and practical steps. She treats people as the experts on their own lives and focuses on strengths that can help manage hard situations. Sessions typically include talking through current problems and trying small, manageable changes.
Virginia has a long history of supporting people who face family conflict, adoption and foster care questions, attachment concerns, blended family challenges, and caregiver stress. She also helps with issues like abandonment, infidelity, divorce and separation, and fertility-related strain.
When trauma is part of the picture, she uses trauma-focused methods alongside other approaches to help people process difficult experiences and reduce overwhelming symptoms. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused techniques are used when practical tools and clear steps are needed.
Her style is straightforward and goal-oriented. She helps people set short-term objectives and track small changes over time. This approach can suit young adults dealing with transitions - leaving home, study or work challenges, money worries, and relationship changes.
Sessions are conducted in English and she practices from New York. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Virginia commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. Client-Centered Therapy means listening carefully and focusing on each person's strengths so they can find their own solutions. It helps when someone needs a respectful space to talk through decisions and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and practical problems like sleep, study routines, or work stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit the client’s needs and goals. That may mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting as progress is made.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins on a break. It can also let someone choose a quieter moment to focus, try exposure tasks between sessions, or continue work when moving cities. Confirm the available session formats and scheduling options before your first appointment.
