Vakhtang Gomelauri

Vakhtang Gomelauri is a licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of practice in New York. He supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, trauma, addictions, self-esteem and related concerns. He speaks English, Georgian, and Russian and identifies as LCSW.

He uses psychodynamic psychotherapy to help people understand their patterns. That approach looks at early life experiences and recurring emotions to make sense of current struggles. He also draws on mindfulness and trauma-focused ideas when helpful.

Sessions emphasize clear, practical steps alongside deeper reflection. Clients learn skills to reduce panic, manage stress, and handle difficult moods between sessions. Conversations are meant to increase awareness of internal processes and daily choices.

Vakhtang frames therapy as a collaborative exploration of values and life story. He helps people name patterns that get in the way and test new ways of responding. This can make decisions feel more purposeful and less reactive.

He has worked with people from many cultural and religious backgrounds and with diverse gender identities. Vakhtang invites questions and typically checks messages several times a day to coordinate next steps. To begin, readers should use the site's Start Therapy flow and complete the matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How psychodynamic and mindfulness approaches work online

Psychodynamic psychotherapy looks at patterns that began earlier in life and how they show up now. Online sessions can be a place to notice recurring reactions, name feelings, and test new responses in day-to-day life. This helps when anger, relationship problems, or low mood keep repeating.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to calm anxiety and reduce reactivity. These exercises are short and can be practiced between sessions to help manage stress and panic symptoms.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether more reflection, more skills practice, or a trauma-focused focus is best. Goals, preferences, and daily routines guide that choice.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as specific online options are not listed here. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow brief check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills in the same environments where they live and work. Licensed professionals can adapt the length and pacing of sessions to match a person's schedule and needs.
