Antoinette Goss

Antoinette Goss is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia. She brings ten years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes. Antoinette aims to offer practical tools and steady support for people facing hard shifts in relationships, work, or health.

She uses a mix of well-known approaches tailored to each person’s needs. In session she listens closely and helps clients set clear, achievable goals. Conversations are straightforward and goal-focused, with attention to emotions, behaviors, and everyday routines that get in the way of feeling better.

Antoinette works with a wide range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety, including grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, career stress, and bipolar mood management. She also supports people affected by HIV/AIDS, infidelity, jealousy, veteran and armed forces issues, postpartum depression, and experiences of prejudice and discrimination.

Her methods include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Existential Therapy. These approaches are combined based on what the person needs in the moment rather than one fixed method.

Sessions are conducted in English, and international clients are accepted. Antoinette asks new clients to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability. She notes that subscription sessions can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It teaches values-based action, which can help when life changes make goals feel unclear or overwhelming.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in relationships. It can help people improve connection and address intimacy issues by naming feelings and trying new interaction patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then choose or combine methods that fit. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as goals evolve.

For practical online therapy questions, please confirm the session formats offered before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and let people keep appointments during work breaks or while traveling. Some formats may also allow shorter check-ins or phone-only options for lower bandwidth or when being on camera is difficult.
