Virginia Goodremote , LMHC

Virginia Goodremote is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York, holding a Certification in Trauma Counseling and bringing 23 years of clinical experience to her work. She has provided individual and family counseling to children, adolescents, and adults, addressing concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, family conflict, loss and grief, and both physical and emotional abuse.

Virginia centers her practice on the conviction that each person is the expert of their own story and that individuals possess strengths that can support meaningful change. She blends empathic listening with practical, evidence-informed techniques to help clients develop coping skills, rebuild connections, and move toward greater well-being. Pursuing therapy is often the first courageous step toward a more satisfying life, and Virginia focuses on supporting and empowering clients as they take that journey. Her trauma counseling certification informs her approach with survivors of abuse and those processing significant losses, and she adapts interventions to meet the needs of individuals and families across different stages of life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care with Virginia Goodremote

Virginia integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and trauma-focused therapy into her practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore their values and goals while the therapist follows the client's lead - it can be helpful for relationship issues, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Trauma-focused therapy addresses the impact of traumatic events by supporting processing and healing while building safety and coping strategies for those affected by abuse or significant loss.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Virginia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time so therapy evolves as progress is made.

Online therapy with Virginia can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for differing schedules and comfort levels. Remote sessions can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, manage busy lives, and access consistent support from a licensed professional regardless of logistical barriers.
