Antoinette Goss, LMHC, LPC

Antoinette Goss is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of practice. She works with people who are facing addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, and other life stressors. Her approach blends practical tools with empathy so people can feel steady again and move forward.

She draws on familiar, evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based strategies. Sessions focus on real problems and skills you can use between meetings, like managing intense emotions, coping with cravings, or improving communication with a partner.

Antoinette also attends to issues that often sit alongside addiction, including grief, intimacy concerns, self-harm, and experiences of prejudice or discrimination. She pays attention to cultural and life context and helps people connect their values to the changes they want to make.

Her style is collaborative and direct. She offers clear steps and therapeutic listening so clients can set practical goals. If you need help deciding whether therapy may fit your situation, she helps clarify options and next steps.

Antoinette practices in Virginia and works in English. International clients are accepted. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and details about session formats should be confirmed before booking.

How her approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small committed steps that match what matters most. It can be useful for managing cravings, anxiety, and life transitions by focusing on action rather than getting stuck on thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and addiction-related behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and follows the client's lead to build self-understanding and confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Antoinette will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. That cooperative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

The practical advantages of online therapy include easier fit with busy schedules and more consistent check-ins during life changes. Because specific session formats were not listed in the original biography, confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to maintain regular sessions, fit therapy around work or caregiving, and use short check-ins when a full session isn’t possible, depending on which formats are offered.
