About Virginia

Virginia Lott is a Licensed Professional Counselor who uses a person-centered approach to meet people where they are. She keeps sessions straightforward and nonjudgmental so parents and individuals can say what they need. Her manner is calm and practical, focused on understanding each person’s situation and goals.

With ten years of experience, Virginia draws on techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work to address stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem, and depression.

Background and approach

She also brings trauma-focused strategies when past events shape current struggles. Her goal is to offer clear steps clients can try between sessions. Virginia has experience with a wide range of family and parenting related issues, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, and coping with life changes.

She also supports people facing aging and geriatric issues, autism spectrum challenges, blended family adjustments, caregiver stress, and hearing impaired needs. Other areas she addresses include communication problems, codependency, and impulse control. Sessions emphasize practical problem solving alongside supportive listening.

Clients can expect conversations that identify small changes and test what works, along with space to talk through feelings and family history. Virginia explains ideas plainly and helps people decide which strategies suit their life. She is licensed in Texas as LPC 79149 and conducts services in English.

People who choose to work with her will complete an initial matching and scheduling process and then work collaboratively on goals that fit their family situation.

Online approaches that fit family and parenting needs

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping clients set their own goals. It is useful when people need space to talk through parenting stress, relationship worries, or life transitions and want a therapist who follows their lead.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, concentrates on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes. This approach is often chosen for anxiety, low mood, stress, and parenting challenges where practical tools can reduce daily strain.

Trauma-focused therapy looks at how past events affect present functioning and teaches ways to manage intense emotions and reactions. It is used when trauma or abuse has a clear role in current difficulties and clients want targeted strategies to process those experiences.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods based on each person’s goals, needs, and preferences. This happens as a collaboration so plans can change if something isn’t helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy family schedules. Video calls let people meet face to face from home, phone sessions work when video isn’t possible, and live chat or text-based messaging provide brief check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and try techniques in real time.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
