Virginia Goodremote

Virginia Goodremote is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with 23 years of clinical experience. She centers sessions on each person’s strengths and goals. She offers calm, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and isolation and loneliness.

Her approach begins with listening. She treats clients as partners in therapy and helps them make choices that fit their lives. She aims for straightforward, practical steps rather than long lectures or jargon.

Virginia blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral ideas and solution-focused strategies. She also uses trauma-focused approaches when past hurt gets in the way of daily life. That mix helps address symptoms, day-to-day problems, and deeper patterns at the same time.

Over two decades she has helped people with family conflict, parenting stress, adoption and foster care questions, and caregiving strain. She has also supported people dealing with anger, addiction issues, intimacy concerns, and career shifts.

Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and how to get there in small steps. She encourages practical tools for coping and clearer communication with others. Her style is steady, respectful, and goal-oriented, with attention to emotional healing after trauma.

To begin, clients use a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability. The process is aimed at helping people find workable changes and rebuild connection in their lives.

How core approaches guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. The therapist follows the client’s lead, helps clarify goals, and supports personal strengths to solve current problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it offers concrete tools to shift unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy pays attention to how past hurts still affect daily life and uses step-by-step methods to lessen those painful reactions and build safer patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, comfort level, and life situation. That choice can change over time as goals shift or new challenges appear.

Confirm current session formats before booking to learn what is available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. Different approaches translate to clear tasks you can try between sessions, such as thought records from CBT or focused coping plans from solution-focused work, which help carry progress into everyday life.
