About Virginia
Virginia Green is an AASW counsellor with four years of professional experience in Australia. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, work through addictions, and rebuild confidence. She aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement. Taking the first step feels hard and she acknowledges that courage is needed.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. She uses plain language and helps people set small, achievable goals that fit their life. Sessions often involve looking at unhelpful thinking, finding values that matter, and practising simple mindfulness skills.
Virginia draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. She also uses client-centred principles to follow the person’s lead and Motivational Interviewing to bolster readiness for change. These approaches are used together to suit what each person needs.
Her work covers a broad range of concerns beyond anxiety and addiction. She helps with depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, social anxiety, first responder issues, gambling and process addictions, smoking and vaping cessation, money and financial issues, and questions about life purpose. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame and isolation.
Sessions are offered in English and are based in Australia. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It supports work on anxiety, depression and life purpose by focusing on what matters rather than trying to control every feeling. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, social phobia and addictive behaviours. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre, with the therapist following the person’s lead and offering empathic listening to build safety and clarity.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s goals, preferences and current challenges. Together they will try strategies, check what helps, and adjust the plan so sessions remain relevant and workable.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practise skills in everyday settings and carry over small steps between sessions. Approaches like ACT and CBT adapt well to online conversation and homework, and the therapist will explain how each method can be used in remote sessions.
