About Virginia Dickinson

Hello! I am a licensed clinical social worker with certificates in marriage and family therapy and grief counseling. Over the years I have taken a nontraditional career path working in counseling, education, the arts, and management.

My counseling style is supportive and interactive. My approach combines humanism, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, and ecopsychology. I believe that we all have the skills and solutions within us to solve problems, but at times we need guidance and support in doing so.

It takes insight to realize that one needs to make changes in their life, and it takes courage to reach out to get help in doing so. I would be happy to assist you on your journey towards a more balanced and satisfying life.

“Virginia is extremely intuitive and offers support where I need it consistently.”

“Virginia has given me many tools and guidance to help me with my issues. She is a great listener and gives great advice which is something I appreciate. I would recommend her to anyone who is getting started with therapy!”

“She is kind, thoughtful, deeply intelligent and sensible.”

“Virginia is so lovely”

“Virginia was exactly who I needed when I first joined. She listens and has very educated responses that helped me get through a lot of tough times. I would highly recommend Virginia to anyone in need of a therapist, short/long term”

“Virginia has been an incredible help. She’s made a huge impact on my day to day life. I am very grateful to have her as my therapist!”

“Virginia is Great- very supportive, caring & helpful ❤️”

“Virginia is fantastic at hearing all that is of concern and finding an easy to follow solution. I also feel very comfortable in our sessions even though talking to people is something I try to avoid when I can. She ignites hope and makes me feel like anything is achievable through better choices.”

“I have only recently just started therapy and I was hesitant to begin this process again. I was concerned originally that my problems were not necessarily in the realm of being fixed by therapy, but after my first few sessions with Virginia I am so happy I stuck with it! I have realized that even if my problems aren’t being directly affected by therapy, it has helped me immensely to just be able to talk through some of my circumstances with someone who is “on the outside“. Many thanks to Virginia and to those responsible for developing this therapy experience!”

“I think Virginia is Wonderful-<br /> She is very quick to respond, listens to me and helps me to have a better understanding for myself. These first two sessions have been great, I think having Virginia help and BetterHelp service are going to have a significant impact on my life and what I’ve been going through!”

“I’ve so enjoyed my time working with Virginia! She’s helped me work though my past and focus on my future. I hope if I ever need to come back to therapy I can see her again.”

“I've only had 2 sessions with Virginia, after switching counselors, and I already have learned more and literally had better help with her than the previous counselor and the almost 10 sessions we had.”

“Thanks to Virginia, I've made some major headway in understanding myself and my sensitivities, which has enabled me to fine-tune my approach to relationships with friends and loved ones. My initial goals for starting counselling have now been achieved, and I look forward to pursuing new ones!”

“Virginia is consistently supportive and reassuring. I always feel better after reading her messages.”
