Vakhtang Gomelauri, LCSW

Vakhtang Gomelauri is a licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma, and mood concerns. He works with clients who are struggling with depression, self-esteem, addictions, grief, intimacy issues, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, and related challenges. Sessions are offered in English, Georgian, and Russian.

He uses a psychodynamic approach alongside mindfulness and trauma-focused ideas when helpful. That means he pays attention to feelings, recurring patterns, and how past experiences shape current choices. He also teaches practical skills people can use between sessions to reduce anxiety and manage difficult moments.

Vakhtang invites clients who want to better understand their emotions and life story. He supports people who want to notice inner patterns, work through early experiences, and reach clearer insights about themselves. Conversations aim to make these patterns easier to see and change.

His work often blends exploring values and relationships with learning simple daily practices to lower stress. He frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s goals lead the way. Over time clients can expect to develop more awareness and tools for coping.

Vakhtang practices in New York and communicates regularly with clients about scheduling and next steps. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on how early life experiences and recurring patterns shape feelings and choices today. It helps people who want to understand why they react certain ways and to gain clearer self-knowledge.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce anxiety and increase calm. These techniques are useful for managing panic, stress, and overwhelming emotions in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences and together decide which methods to emphasize. Therapy is collaborative and may combine insight work with practical skills depending on needs.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let clients practice mindfulness and coping skills in real-life settings and then discuss how those practices went with a licensed professional.
