About Virginia

Virginia Hagen is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 35 years of clinical experience who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, eating concerns, addictions, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She creates a welcoming space where clients can express thoughts and feelings without judgment and draws on a long career in nursing and mental health to offer practical skills that clients can use beyond therapy.

Her background includes decades of work across inpatient and outpatient mental health settings, a independent practice in Crystal River, Florida, and extensive experience supporting families and children with special needs and custody challenges. Hagen also has formal training in Christian studies and completed clinical pastoral education, and she integrates a variety of therapeutic resources to meet individual needs.

Clients can expect a collaborative style that emphasizes empowerment, emotional expression, and skill development informed by multiple evidence-based approaches and deep professional experience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-based therapy emphasizes understanding how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns, helping clients explore connection, trust, and attachment wounds so they can build healthier relational habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building, which is often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people access and reorganize emotional responses to improve communication and deepen emotional bonds in relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, blending techniques from different methods as needed so treatment fits each person’s situation and values.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and lets clients access consistent care from home or work. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of treatment, try different session formats, and receive timely support while working around daily commitments.
