About Vakhtang
Vakhtang Gomelauri is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of practice in psychotherapy. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma, addiction, and a range of other concerns. He speaks English, Georgian, and Russian and works from New York.
Vakhtang uses psychodynamic therapy as a core approach to help clients understand patterns that come from early life experiences. He invites people to talk about emotions, relationships, and life choices so they can reach clearer self-understanding. His work also includes techniques clients can use day to day to reduce stress and lessen panic or depressive episodes.
He blends psychodynamic thinking with mindfulness and trauma-focused ideas when they fit a person's needs. This mix aims to combine deeper insight with practical tools for coping and emotional regulation. Sessions focus on noticing internal processes and building on what each person already does well.
Vakhtang names adoption and foster care among his areas of focus and can address abandonment and attachment concerns alongside grief, intimacy, and parenting issues. He also supports people facing chronic illness, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.
People who prefer clear conversation and steady reflection may find his style helpful. He checks messages several times a day and asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling. To start, follow the site's Start Therapy process and schedule based on availability.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Vakhtang practices psychodynamic therapy and uses mindfulness and trauma-focused ideas to complement that work. Psychodynamic therapy helps people notice recurring feelings and relationship patterns by talking through life stories and early experiences. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing skills to reduce anxiety and improve mood in daily life. Trauma-focused methods address painful memories and reactions so people can feel safer in their bodies and relationships.Finding the right fit is part of the process. He will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying different techniques and checking in regularly to see what feels helpful and what should change.
The therapist's biography notes experience with both in-person and online work, but it does not list specific session formats here. Confirm the current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises in contexts where they spend most of their time, helping skills transfer from session to everyday life.
