Virginia Goodremote

Virginia Goodremote is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She brings 23 years of clinical experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Her approach centers on listening first and helping each person use their own strengths to make change.

Virginia works with people facing trauma, grief, parenting challenges, addiction, and the daily pressures of life. She also helps those managing attention differences, compassion fatigue, anger, and issues tied to intimacy. Intellectual disability is listed among her focus areas and she includes it in her practice considerations.

In sessions she emphasizes practical steps that fit into real life. She draws from client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities and from cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Solution-focused tools are used to set clear goals and build on what already works.

Virginia believes clients are the experts on their lives and that therapy is a collaborative process. She aims to offer steady support while people practice new ways of coping and relating. Progress is often gradual, with small changes adding up over time.

Her background includes long-term work with children, adolescents, and adults on family conflict, abuse, loss, and parenting strains. This range informs her practical, down-to-earth style and commitment to helping people find clearer next steps.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Virginia commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s lead so goals come from the person’s own priorities; it helps when someone needs a supportive space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods make the most sense based on their goals and day-to-day life. This shared decision-making lets techniques be adapted as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions without video if that helps someone engage more comfortably. Ask about available formats and scheduling when completing the matching questionnaire so sessions match practical needs.
