About Vakhtang
Vakhtang Gomelauri is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience based in New York. He works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and anger. He also addresses issues like addictions, self-esteem, grief, and challenges around intimacy and parenting.
His core approach is psychodynamic psychotherapy. He uses talk-based work to help people become more aware of internal patterns and early life influences. Sessions involve reflecting on emotions, repeated relationship dynamics, and how past events shape present reactions.
Vakhtang also integrates mindfulness practices to reduce stress and calm anxious moments. He offers concrete methods clients can practice between sessions to manage panic, lower reactivity, and improve sleep or focus. These tools are framed as everyday skills rather than abstract techniques.
He recognizes how life transitions and cultural backgrounds affect wellbeing. Conversations often look at values, relationships, and sources of meaning to support decision-making and direction. The work aims to produce clearer insight rather than quick fixes.
Vakhtang communicates in English, Georgian, and Russian. He asks prospective clients to use the site’s matching questionnaire and scheduling tools to arrange a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions are billed through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How his therapeutic approaches work online
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on patterns that repeat across relationships and life. Online sessions with this approach involve talking through feelings, memories, and reactions to understand where they come from and how they affect current behavior.Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and simple present-moment practices. Online sessions introduce short exercises to reduce reactivity, calm anxiety, and provide tools to use between meetings for better sleep and lower stress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels practical for the client, then adapt the mix of psychodynamic exploration and mindfulness practices accordingly. The emphasis is on working together to choose methods that fit daily life and personal priorities.
Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into a workday, doing shorter check-ins, or using less travel time. Others prefer a longer hour to explore deeper material; these practical considerations can be discussed when scheduling.
