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 stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, and many related areas. Sessions address practical problems people bring day to day.

Her approach emphasizes listening and collaboration. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what the person says matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and build different responses. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set short-term goals and notice what changes are already working.

Virginia has long experience helping people after trauma and abuse and with grief. She also supports those dealing with addictions, impulsivity, and compassion fatigue. Her background includes work with adoption, attachment issues, blended family tensions, and other complex family topics.

In sessions she helps clients name patterns that drive anger and frustration. She offers practical tools to reduce snapping or resentment and to manage strong reactions at work or home. She also helps with boundaries, communication, and rebuilding trust after conflicts.

Her style is straightforward and focused on what can change now. She invites people to notice strengths they already use. The first meetings typically clarify immediate concerns and set reasonable short-term goals. From there she and the client decide which techniques to use and how to pace the work.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. In online sessions this means the therapist follows the client's concerns, mirrors what is said, and helps the client decide next steps. It works well for people who need space to be heard and to clarify priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies patterns of thinking that keep anger and anxiety active. Online CBT sessions typically include tracking triggers, testing small behavioral experiments, and practicing alternative reactions between meetings. This approach helps with workplace frustration and repeated cycles of snapping at others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to match methods to goals and preferences. That might mean trying CBT exercises for a few sessions, then shifting to solution-focused steps to build momentum.

Confirm the precise online session formats before booking, as they are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins, or avoid commute time. It can also allow focused homework between sessions and quicker follow-up when a problem comes up in daily life.
