About Virginia
Virginia Goodremote is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in New York. She brings 23 years of clinical experience and focuses on parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues. Her approach centers on helping people use their strengths to handle hard moments and make practical changes.
She works with individual adults and adolescents on a range of concerns including depression, grief, anger, addiction, and ADHD. Parents often seek her help for family conflict, parenting strain, blended family challenges, adoption and foster care issues, and attachment worries.
Background and approach
She speaks plainly and keeps sessions focused on what will make daily life better. Virginia blends client-centered ways of working with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy. She also uses solution-focused strategies to set clear goals and trauma-focused methods when past hurts affect present functioning.
She matches the approach to what each person needs rather than pushing a single method. In sessions she listens first, then helps people set small, doable steps toward change. She supports work on coping skills, managing emotions, repairing relationships, and improving parenting confidence.
Progress often comes from trying a few skills between appointments and checking what helps. Her practice in New York reflects long experience with diverse family situations, from divorce and separation to fertility and caregiving stress. Virginia aims to offer calm, straightforward guidance so parents and individuals can find clearer ways forward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. In practice this means the therapist helps people tell their story, reflect on strengths, and choose what feels most useful. It’s helpful for parents and individuals who need a supportive space to sort through feelings and decide on next steps.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. Online CBT sessions often include practical exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments that can be done between meetings to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to pick methods that match goals and preferences and may combine elements from different approaches over time. That helps tailor sessions to parenting needs, relationship goals, or recovery from trauma.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and demonstrations, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text-based messaging can support ongoing skill practice. These options give flexibility so people can use the format that fits their routines and needs.
