Virginia Goodremote

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 navigate anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and the stress of major life changes.

She works with individuals across many life stages, and often addresses parenting concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Divorce and separation are listed among areas she supports, along with family conflict and caregiving stress.

Virginia uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She listens first, then helps people set realistic goals. She draws from client-centered work to tailor conversations to each person's needs and from cognitive behavioral techniques to address thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of feeling better.

For people coping with painful memories or trauma, she brings trauma-focused approaches to help process experiences at a manageable pace. Solution-focused strategies are used when clients want short-term steps and concrete actions to move forward.

Her style is collaborative and strengths-based. She helps clients recognize what already works in their lives and build on it. To begin, people complete a brief questionnaire and schedule a session based on the therapist's availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship. The therapist follows each person's lead, reflects what matters most, and helps people find their own solutions. This approach is useful for exploring feelings around separation, parenting stress, or identity changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Sessions include practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or change unhelpful habits. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, impulsivity, and anger concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they will try strategies, review what helps, and adjust the plan over time.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking. The therapist's profile lists clinical approaches and a process for getting started, but specific formats should be checked when scheduling. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow flexible scheduling for work or family demands. It can also support regular check-ins and homework between meetings to keep progress moving forward.
