Virginia, in many ways, has been a gateway for me to initiate my own healing. I love how she is solution oriented. Whatever problem I have she treats like an irritating obstacle that together we can move out of the way, rather than some burdensome equation that needs solving. That approach has helped me gain control of my anxiety in ways where now I am able to stop the spiraling.

Hello, My Name, is Virginia Smith, and I have a passion to help each person that I encounter to live their daily life to the fullest in all aspect of their lives. It is my desire to provide an avenue that leads to the discovery of one’s inert desire to overcome obstacles, laugh a little harder, engage in meaningful relationships and to see life’s journey with its up and downs as a onetime adventure in their life. Life’s journey is unpredictable, and we meet various landmarks some that are memorable and challenging and celebratory that we reflect on with a smile on our face. However, there other landmarks represented by grief, trauma, abuse, disappointment, anxiety and depression that we need a road map of supportive.
Subscribing to the therapeutic techniques in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Therapy, I strive to have a deep understand of your concerns, and your success and learn your strengths to map out life coping skills to have practical solutions to aid on your journey.
During our sessions together you will find that support, understanding and hope. Each milestone will be taken in considerations, your goals, your emotions, your thoughts, your dreams and your strength at the forefront.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
