About Virginia
Virginia Dickinson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nine years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, LGBT concerns, family issues, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related problems.
She uses a conversational and interactive style in sessions. Virginia draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small, practical changes. She also incorporates Solution-Focused Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to identify strengths and steady attention in stressful moments.
Her background includes counseling, education, the arts, and management. That mix shows in sessions that blend practical problem solving with attention to values and day-to-day functioning. She encourages people to build on what already works, then tests new ways of coping in small steps.
Virginia often works with concerns around sleep, anger, self-esteem, parenting, career pressures, and the effects of chronic illness or caregiver stress. She also addresses attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, blended family adjustments, and body image worries.
Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, behavioral experiments, and simple mindfulness practices people can use between meetings. The emphasis is on usable strategies rather than lengthy theory. She frames change as a sequence of manageable steps and offers concrete tools to try between sessions.
Approaches used in virtual sessions and what they offer
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client, which helps people feel heard and clarify their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches how thoughts affect feelings and behavior, and it uses practical exercises to try different responses to anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention to the present moment with short practices that can reduce reactivity and improve sleep and focus.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. Over a few sessions she checks what is working and adjusts the plan so it fits the person rather than forcing a single method.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a day, allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or let them use phone over video when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals deliver the care and the focus is on practical strategies that can be practiced between meetings to support everyday life.
