About Vakhtang

Vakhtang Gomelauri is a licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, addictions, and ADHD.

Background and approach

He blends a psychodynamic foundation with practical tools drawn from mindfulness and trauma-focused methods so clients can reduce panic and daily distress while deepening emotional awareness. His practice supports exploration of grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, career concerns, and a wide range of mood and adjustment challenges.

Working from New York, Vakhtang emphasizes understanding how early experiences, relationship patterns, and personal values shape current difficulties. He offers techniques clients can use between sessions to ease symptoms and build coping capacity, alongside longer-term exploration aimed at insight and change.

Fluent in English, Georgian, and Russian, he has worked with people from diverse cultural and identity backgrounds and integrates therapeutic conversation with skills training to help clients find direction and renewed purpose. Sessions are available via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, and scheduling follows therapist availability.

He holds LCSW credentials in New York and Pennsylvania and invites prospective clients to begin by completing a brief matching questionnaire to see if his approach fits their needs.

Approaches That Guide Online Work and Growth

Existential work in his practice invites clients to explore meaning, values, and life choices when circumstances feel confusing or overwhelming; this approach is helpful for people wrestling with purpose, major transitions, or questions about identity. Mindfulness therapy offers practical attention and breathing techniques to reduce reactivity, manage anxiety, and improve daily functioning by cultivating present-moment awareness.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is collaborative rather than predetermined. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the specific concerns a client brings, and together they will tailor a combination of exploration and skills-based work that fits the person's needs and pace.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to schedule care around work, family, and geography. These formats allow continuity of care and flexibility in how people engage, whether they prefer real-time conversation or shorter message-based check-ins, while maintaining the same clinical approaches used in in-person work.
