About Vakhtang

Vakhtang Gomelauri is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma-related concerns. He offers straightforward, practical support aimed at easing symptoms and improving daily functioning. Vakhtang communicates in English, Georgian, and Russian and sees clients from New York via remote sessions.

He combines a psychodynamic foundation with techniques you can use between sessions. That means talking through patterns rooted in early life while also practicing skills that reduce panic, lift mood, and steady attention.

Background and approach

Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and small, usable changes for day-to-day life. Vakhtang describes therapy as a place to better understand emotions and habits. He helps people notice internal patterns and links between past events and current struggles.

Over time that awareness often makes choices feel more intentional and less reactive. He also uses mindfulness practices to calm stress and Trauma-Focused methods when past events keep causing distress. These approaches are paired with psychodynamic work to combine insight with practical coping tools.

Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on the therapist's availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on understanding how past relationships and early experiences shape current feelings and behaviors. Online sessions use conversation to uncover patterns and make those connections clearer, which can reduce repeating the same struggles.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce stress and impulsivity. These practices are short and easy to do between sessions, helping with anxiety, sleep, and focus in daily life.

Trauma-Focused Therapy offers ways to process painful memories and lower their hold on daily functioning. Online work can include paced conversations and grounding techniques that reduce distress linked to past events.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and current needs, and then recommend techniques to try. Clients and therapist adapt the plan as progress and feedback guide the process.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation. Phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins, quick skills practice, or when a shorter format fits a busy day. These options make ongoing care more flexible and easier to fit into work, school, or caregiving schedules.
