About Vakhtang

Vakhtang Gomelauri is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with 12 years of clinical experience offering both in-person and online psychotherapy. He practices primarily from a psychodynamic orientation, helping individuals explore emotions, internal processes, and early life experiences to gain insight and meaningful change.

His therapeutic work is informed by an understanding of diverse cultural, religious, and gender identities, and he has supported people facing stress, anxiety, panic, depression, and trauma. Vakhtang equips clients with practical tools they can apply in daily life to reduce stress, manage anxiety or panic symptoms, and address depressive patterns while also engaging in deeper exploration when clients wish to understand longstanding patterns rooted in their life story.

Many clients seek his help to examine values, relationships, and the sources of meaning in a time of widespread uncertainty, and he places emphasis on working through those themes to help clients feel more empowered and oriented toward the future. He communicates in English, Georgian, and Russian and brings an approachable yet thoughtful style to therapeutic work.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on uncovering patterns shaped by early relationships and internal processes. Through reflective dialogue, this approach helps clients gain insight into recurring feelings and behaviors and work toward lasting understanding and change.

Existential therapy centers on questions of meaning, values, and personal responsibility. It supports people who are struggling to find direction or purpose, helping them clarify what matters most and make choices that align with their values.

Mindfulness therapy teaches practical present-moment skills such as grounding and breath-based attention to reduce reactivity and manage stress and anxiety. These techniques are useful for everyday coping as well as for improving sleep and emotional regulation.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Vakhtang Gomelauri will collaborate with each person to identify the methods that best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access consistent support from licensed professionals regardless of location.
