Virginia Goodremote, LMHC

Virginia Goodremote is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who centers her practice on client-centered care. She begins by listening and building on each person's strengths. Her approach aims to make therapy a practical, doable part of life for carers and people under stress.

With 23 years of experience, she has worked with children, adolescents, and adults in one-on-one and family settings. She has supported people dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, grief, and the effects of physical and emotional abuse. She also offers help around caregiver stress and related family concerns.

Her ways of working include client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and trauma-focused therapy. In sessions she focuses on clear, straightforward steps people can try between meetings. Conversations are geared toward practical coping, problem solving, and reducing patterns that get in the way of daily life.

Virginia pays particular attention to issues that often affect carers, such as compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, and feelings of isolation. She also helps people navigate trust and attachment issues, abandonment, blended family dynamics, parenting strains, and separation or divorce.

Therapy begins with a brief intake to identify goals and choose an approach that fits. Sessions are aimed at helping people feel more capable, regain balance, and make changes that match their daily responsibilities and values.

How client-centered and evidence-based approaches work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding each person's perspective, and building on strengths to set goals and make changes. It is helpful for carers dealing with stress, burnout, and relationship strains because it centers the person's own priorities and experience.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns that get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan over time based on what helps and what does not.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow quick check-ins when caregivers need brief support between responsibilities. Ask about available formats and scheduling when you start the matching process so sessions match your routine and needs.
