Vakhtang Gomelauri , LCSW

Vakhtang Gomelauri is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 12 years of experience providing therapy both in person and online. He draws on psychodynamic psychotherapy to help people explore long-standing patterns, early life experiences, and the underlying emotions that shape current choices and relationships. This approach is paired with practical tools aimed at reducing stress, easing anxiety and panic, and addressing symptoms of depression so clients can function more comfortably in daily life.

He has worked with people from a wide range of cultural, ethnic, religious, and gender backgrounds, and integrates skills clients can use independently between sessions. Those who wish to develop greater awareness of their internal processes, work through formative experiences, or gain clearer insight into relationship and self-esteem issues will find his psychodynamic orientation focused on understanding and reflective change.

Vakhtang also attends to the search for meaning and purpose that often arises during times of upheaval, helping clients examine values, relationships, and life stories to identify paths forward. He communicates promptly and checks messages several times a day to support timely connections with people seeking care.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Vakhtang commonly uses psychodynamic therapy to help clients explore how early relationships and unconscious patterns influence current feelings and behaviors. This approach supports deeper self-understanding and can be useful for relationship issues, self-esteem concerns, and long-standing emotional difficulties.

He also integrates mindfulness therapy, which teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress. These techniques can help with anxiety, mood fluctuations, and coping with everyday pressures.

When trauma is central to a person’s concerns, trauma-focused methods are used to address the emotional and behavioral impacts of past harms and support gradual recovery. These approaches aim to help clients build stability and greater tolerance for difficult memories and feelings.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Vakhtang collaborates with each person to identify the methods that best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the approach as therapy evolves.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit support into busy or changing schedules and to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are impractical.
