Virginia Dickinson, LCSW, CSW

Virginia Dickinson is a licensed clinical social worker who brings a practical, person-focused style to short- and longer-term concerns. She uses a conversational, supportive approach and invites people to notice their strengths. Virginia draws on nine years of clinical experience to help people who are facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life changes including health-related challenges.

Her sessions tend to be interactive and collaborative. She helps people identify small, doable changes and practices they can try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are used to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy informs how she listens and responds to what matters most to each person.

Virginia also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear goals and build on what already works. Mindfulness techniques are offered when people want tools for managing tension and improving sleep. Motivational Interviewing supports people facing addictions or readiness-to-change issues by exploring personal values and practical next steps.

She has worked across counseling, education, the arts, and management, and that background shapes a flexible, down-to-earth style. People who reach out can expect straightforward conversation, actionable ideas, and attention to how life circumstances affect mood and functioning.

Virginia is credentialed as LCSW and CSW and practices in Colorado. If living with health challenges is part of the concern, she includes that as one area of focus while collaborating on realistic coping strategies and supports.

How approach and online care work together

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and clarifies personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, improve mood, or tackle sleep problems. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on concrete goals and small steps that build momentum toward change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which ideas to try and adjust the plan as needed, keeping the process collaborative and goal-oriented.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life, shorter check-ins when needed, and ways to use mindfulness or CBT exercises between meetings. This profile does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. The focus will be on making therapy fit your routine and needs rather than on any single format.
