About Virginia
Virginia Goodremote is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She brings 23 years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles. Her approach centers on listening first.
She uses client-centered work to understand each person's story and strengths. From there she draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused steps to build practical change. Virginia often helps people facing parenting strain, grief, addiction, self-esteem problems, and compassion fatigue.
How Virginia works
She also supports those dealing with adoption and foster care concerns, attachment questions, abandonment issues, and the practical fallout of separation or divorce. When trauma is part of the story she uses trauma-focused methods to address painful memories and reduce their hold on daily life. Sessions aim to be steady and concrete, with skills to manage mood, impulsivity, and difficult reactions.
People meet her for short-term goals like coping with life changes, and for longer work around chronic patterns such as commitment fears, infidelity, or long-standing isolation. She combines direct skill teaching with space to reflect on meaning and values. The emphasis is on simple, actionable steps that fit into busy lives.

Online support options
Using trauma-informed and goal-focused approaches online
Client-centered therapy places the person at the center of care, meaning the therapist listens closely and follows the client's pace to set goals and priorities. This approach helps when someone needs an empathic space to sort through feelings and choices.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers clear strategies and exercises to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and change unhelpful behavior patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. This is a collaborative process that balances short-term steps with deeper work when appropriate.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts between sessions and fit support into busy days. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to use therapy consistently.
