About Virginia
Virginia Goodremote is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, parenting struggles, and relationship difficulties. Sessions address trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and challenges like compassion fatigue and ADHD.
Her approach centers on listening closely and building on a person's own strengths. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations focused on what matters to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Solution-Focused techniques help set clear, manageable goals for the near term.
Virginia has long experience helping people navigate family-related strain. She supports parents dealing with parenting problems and caregiver stress. She also works with adults handling abandonment, attachment issues, blended family concerns, divorce and separation, and fertility-related distress.
Trauma work is part of her practice as well. That includes addressing physical or emotional abuse and the lasting effects of traumatic events. She helps people manage intense emotions like anger, guilt, or shame and rebuild a sense of control.
Practical problems such as career stress, impulsivity, addictions, and isolation are also within her focus. People who need help coping with life changes, intimacy-related issues, or disruptive mood patterns will find a direct, goal-oriented style. The first conversations tend to map problems, set priorities, and agree on small steps to test what helps.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy places the client's experience at the center. The therapist listens, reflects, and follows what the client brings to the session. This approach is helpful for people wanting a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation about parenting, relationship strain, or grief.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online CBT sessions typically include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing small behavior changes between meetings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and stress that affect day-to-day family life.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and try methods that fit those goals. If something isn't helping, they will adjust the plan together rather than sticking to one method.
Session format details should be confirmed before booking. The practical benefits of remote work include fitting appointments into a busy day, shorter check-ins when needed, and options that reduce travel time. Ask about the specific session options offered when you schedule so arrangements match your needs and routine.
