About Virginia
Virginia Green is an AASW social worker with four years of clinical experience in Australia. She focuses on practical support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, low self-esteem and depression. Her approach is calm and straightforward.
She aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable. Virginia creates a space where people can talk without being judged. Conversations cover thoughts, feelings and everyday choices.
She helps clients notice what patterns are holding them back and what small changes might help.
Background and approach
She uses narrative ideas to help people reframe their stories and find different meanings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) tools help clients notice values and take steps toward them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques are used where they fit the person's situation.
Sessions are practical and collaborative. Virginia listens, offers reflections and works with each person to build simple strategies they can try between sessions. She pays attention to motivation and to barriers that make change hard.
Many people come for help with relationships, purpose, shame, loneliness or addiction patterns. She also supports men, young adults and people struggling with work-related stress. Conversations include everyday problems like money worries, communication issues and smoking or vaping cessation.
Virginia sees therapy as a joint process. She helps people set clear, realistic goals and checks in on progress. The focus is on steady steps that lead to more confidence and clearer choices.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Virginia directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and acceptance approaches work online
Virginia uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from the problems they carry. This approach helps reframe life stories and highlight alternative meanings that can reduce shame and blame. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also part of her work and focuses on noticing painful thoughts while committing to actions that match personal values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques may be used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviours that change how someone feels.Finding the best approach is a shared process. Virginia will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest methods to try. She tailors the mix of narrative work, ACT and CBT to fit the issues and the pace the person wants to move at.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives or limited local options. Video calls work well for longer sessions where visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need frequent, brief contact. These formats help make therapy fit around work, study and family commitments.
