About Virginia

Virginia Green is an AASW social worker with four years of professional experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with addictions and the effects of trauma and abuse.

Virginia aims to build a calm, non-judgemental space where people can speak freely about difficult thoughts and feelings. She uses clear, practical steps rather than jargon. Her approach is warm and straightforward so clients can focus on small, manageable changes.

02

How Virginia works

Sessions often begin by identifying what matters most to the person and what gets in the way. Virginia draws on techniques that help shift unhelpful thinking and strengthen motivation. She works with clients to set realistic goals and track progress over time.

She has particular experience with issues such as social anxiety, process addictions like gambling or problematic pornography use, smoking and vaping cessation, and money-related stress. She also helps with isolation, guilt and shame, and navigating a clearer sense of life purpose. Virginia offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs.

Sessions are scheduled through a short matching questionnaire and a booking process. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

Online support options

Approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without being ruled by them and aim for actions that match their values; it can suit anxiety, depression and life-purpose questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking patterns and tests new behaviours with practical exercises, which is useful for social anxiety, low mood and many addiction-related problems. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and building a trusting helping relationship so people can explore feelings and move at their own pace.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Virginia will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together the therapist and client choose methods that fit the person rather than following a single recipe.

Online sessions offer flexibility for different routines and needs. Video calls let conversations feel face-to-face, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family commitments while still using evidence-informed approaches with an appropriately qualified professional.

A practical next step

Write down two things you would want to be different in six months. That is the most useful thing to bring to a first session, whoever it is with. If you would rather start now than keep reading, online sessions are the quickest route.
