Virginia Goodremote, LMHC

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, and the fallout from trauma and abuse.

She emphasizes clear, practical steps in therapy. Sessions center on what a person wants to change and build on their existing strengths. Virginia listens closely and helps people set achievable goals that fit their daily life.

Her approach combines cognitive behavioral ideas with client-centered and solution-focused techniques. That means conversations look at thoughts and behaviors, while also using a collaborative, problem-solving style to find workable solutions. Trauma-focused methods are used when past hurt is getting in the way of day-to-day functioning.

Virginia has worked across many concern areas, including relationships, parenting strain, grief, addiction, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life transitions. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, attachment or abandonment concerns, fertility struggles, and issues related to adoption or blended families.

Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. People leave with steps they can try between meetings. Virginia aims to help people feel more steady, connected to their values, and better able to handle the challenges they face.

How Virginia’s approaches translate to online therapy

Virginia blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in ways that work well online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes building a collaborative relationship where the person's own goals guide the work and they feel heard and respected.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Virginia will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps tailor sessions so they feel practical and relevant from the start.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and text messaging allow quick check-ins or shorter coaching-style work between full sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help therapy fit into busy days.
