About Virginia
Virginia Green is an AASW social worker with four years of professional experience in Australia. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, and work on self-esteem and motivation. Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at people who feel stuck or overwhelmed by early adult life changes.
Virginia listens without judgement and encourages honest conversation about thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on what is causing strain now and on small steps that make everyday life more manageable. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred work to guide these conversations.
She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, depression, and social anxiety. Additional areas she addresses include communication problems, money worries, loneliness, and finding direction after study or job changes. She can talk through process addictions like gambling or problematic porn use and help with smoking or vaping cessation.
Virginia uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques to help clients notice patterns and build practical strategies. Sessions emphasise identifying values, setting short-term goals, and practising small behaviour changes between meetings. This style suits people who want clear steps and tools alongside reflective conversation.

How therapeutic approaches work online with this counsellor
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action that fits those values. It helps with anxiety, low motivation and feeling stuck by shifting how people relate to difficult thoughts rather than trying to eliminate them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression and social phobia. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises a respectful, non-directive conversation where the client leads the pace and topics, helping people build confidence to make changes.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then try methods that fit the person’s situation. That collaborative process can include mixing techniques from ACT, CBT and client-centred work to suit what the client needs.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around study and work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. The therapist uses techniques suited to virtual meetings, such as short practical tasks, mindfulness exercises and behavioural experiments that can be done between sessions.
