About Antoinette

Antoinette Goss is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia. She brings ten years of experience to her work and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, and relationship concerns. Antoinette uses clear language and straightforward strategies so families and individuals can make small, usable changes.

She offers sessions in English and works with international clients as well. Antoinette blends practical therapy methods to match each person's needs.

Background and approach

She draws on approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also uses Emotionally-Focused ideas when relationships and emotional connection are central concerns. In sessions she listens first, then helps create simple steps clients can try between meetings.

That might mean practicing new ways of handling stress, changing routines linked to addictive behaviors, or learning skills for dealing with grief. Her style is collaborative and solution-minded, with room for honest conversation about hard topics like sexual assault, infidelity, or prejudice.

Antoinette also works with issues tied to postpartum depression, veteran and armed forces experiences, HIV/AIDS, and process addictions such as gambling or problematic pornography use. She honors cultural differences and addresses multicultural concerns as part of treatment planning. She holds a New York LMHC license number NY LMHC 011420 and a Virginia LPC license number VA LPC 0701013080.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and are offered via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Antoinette commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. CBT often focuses on practical exercises and homework that translate well to online sessions. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which teaches skills for noticing painful thoughts and staying connected to personal values while taking meaningful action.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences, then recommend methods to try. That collaborative process helps adapt techniques so they fit the client's life and situation.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Clients can meet by video call for face-to-face conversation, use phone sessions when video is not possible, or choose live chat and text-based messaging for shorter check-ins and ongoing support. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around family life, work, or other commitments and to keep practicing new skills between meetings.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
