   About Virginia

   Virginia Green is an AASW-accredited social worker with four years of professional experience. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or problems with addiction. She aims to make the first step less daunting by offering steady support and a non-judgemental space to talk.

   In sessions she encourages honest conversation about what is getting in the way of daily life. She listens closely and helps people uncover what matters to them. This practical focus helps clients find small, realistic steps to build confidence and motivation.

   Virginia draws on a mix of approaches including Motivational Interviewing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people make lasting changes. She also uses client-centred techniques, cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness to tailor each session to the person in front of her.

   She has worked with issues such as trauma and abuse, addictions, self-esteem struggles and social anxiety. Additional areas she addresses include communication problems, first responder issues, money worries, process addictions and smoking or vaping cessation.

   Sessions are conducted in English from Australia. The sign-up process uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients follow the Start Therapy flow and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule with her.

2. How motivational and acceptance-based approaches work online

   Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change by gently exploring ambivalence and building motivation. It is useful for addictions, smoking or vaping cessation and any situation where someone feels stuck about making a change.
   
   Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, and to take actions that match their values. This approach can help with anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and meeting people where they are to promote self-understanding and confidence.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods fit best for the person and their situation. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted over time.
   
   Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy days and saving travel time. Online work can also make short check-ins or regular appointments simpler to manage alongside family or work commitments. The biography does not specify which online formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking.
