About Vakhtang
Vakhtang Gomelauri is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) based in New York with 12 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, and anger. He also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, ADHD, and career or life changes. Sessions are offered in English, Georgian, and Russian.
Vakhtang uses psychodynamic psychotherapy as his primary approach. He helps clients notice patterns that repeat from early life and link those patterns to present-day feelings and behavior. That often means talking through memories, relationship patterns, and the ideas that shape daily reactions.
He also draws on mindfulness techniques to help manage anxiety, reduce panic symptoms, and build steady habits for coping with stress. Mindfulness practice in sessions is presented as simple exercises clients can use between meetings.
When trauma or loss is a central concern, he integrates trauma-focused work to address difficult memories and their ongoing impact. This can include pacing the work to match how a person is coping now and focusing on practical ways to reduce overwhelming emotions.
Vakhtang emphasizes practical tools alongside insight. Clients can expect to leave sessions with strategies to lessen stress, manage intense feelings like anger, and develop more awareness of what triggers strong reactions. He invites prospective clients to use the site’s matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin.
How his approaches translate to online work
Psychodynamic psychotherapy focuses on patterns that began early in life and how they show up now. Online sessions with this approach often involve talking about relationships, recurring reactions, and the stories a person tells about themselves to gain clearer insight.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple practices to calm the body and mind. In online sessions these exercises are taught in short, practical steps that clients can use between meetings to reduce anxiety or manage spikes of anger.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with the client to choose which methods make sense for their goals, symptoms, and day-to-day demands. That means adjusting pace, combining insight work with skills training, and checking in about what feels helpful.
The practical upside of online sessions is that they can fit into a busy life more easily. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the biography indicates both in-person and online experience but does not list specific online options. People often find online meetings useful for shorter check-ins, avoiding travel time, or holding sessions from a quieter location when that is easier to arrange.
