About Virginia
Virginia Wade is a Kentucky LPCC with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, self-esteem issues, and addictions. She also focuses on social anxiety and phobia, attachment problems, and difficulties that come from family of origin and blended family situations.
Virginia uses plain conversation and practical tools during sessions. She listens to what matters to the individual and then offers steps to try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one of the approaches she uses to help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the person’s own goals and Narrative Therapy to look at the stories people tell themselves about their lives.
Mindfulness practices are introduced in short, usable ways so they can fit into busy days. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone is weighing change, for example with drug and alcohol concerns or shifting patterns in relationships. Sessions often focus on building clearer communication, managing anxiety in social settings, and planning small, concrete experiments to reduce avoidance.
Her work pays attention to how past losses, adoption or caregiver roles shape current responses. People who have felt isolated or impulsive often start by naming one situation they want to handle differently. From there, Virginia helps set small goals and reviews progress in straightforward ways.
To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session. The practitioner explains the process and the subscription-based payment model, which can be canceled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Virginia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify thinking patterns and test small behavioral changes. CBT is practical for anxiety and social fears because it focuses on experiments and step-by-step exposure. Client-Centered Therapy is also part of her online work, which means she centers the person’s goals and follows their lead during sessions.She may introduce brief mindfulness exercises to practice noticing bodily signals and slowing down stressful reactions. These are taught in simple, short practices that can be used between sessions. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process; she and the client decide together what feels most helpful based on needs, goals, and preferences.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into the week, require less travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists can adjust session pacing, offer step-by-step exposure tasks for social situations, and use guided exercises that translate well to remote meetings.
