About Virginia

Virginia Goodremote is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 23 years of practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and related issues such as grief and compassion fatigue. Virginia speaks English and works from New York.

Her approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered and solution-focused methods. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, try different responses, and focus on small, practical steps. Sessions aim to clarify immediate goals and build skills that make daily life easier.

Virginia has long experience helping people handle loss, family conflict, and abuse-related concerns. She also addresses intimacy-related issues, addiction, ADHD, anger, and self-esteem problems. In practice she works with issues connected to adoption and foster care, attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family strains, and caregiver stress.

When trauma is a factor she uses trauma-focused methods alongside CBT tools to reduce distress and improve coping. She also uses short-term solution-focused ideas when people want concrete strategies for a specific problem or decision. The work tends to be practical and structured, with attention to what the person wants to change next.

To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Confirm current session formats before booking.

How CBT and trauma-informed methods work in online sessions

Virginia combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy with client-centered listening. CBT helps people identify patterns of thought that increase stress or anxiety and then test practical changes in thinking and behavior. Trauma-focused work addresses responses that developed after abuse or loss and uses careful, paced steps to reduce the hold of traumatic memories.

Client-centered elements mean the therapist listens to what matters most and uses that information to shape goals. Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Together they decide whether more CBT structure, trauma-focused pacing, or brief solution-focused steps fit a person’s needs and preferences.

Confirm current session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the source biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Virginia will discuss scheduling, session length, and practical arrangements so sessions can fit into everyday life without assuming one single format.
