Vakhtang Gomelauri , LCSW

Vakhtang Gomelauri brings more than 12 years of experience delivering therapy both in person and online. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), he draws on psychodynamic psychotherapy to help people explore underlying patterns, early life experiences, and emotional habits that shape current struggles.

He has worked with individuals from diverse cultural, ethnic, religious, and gender backgrounds, and offers practical tools clients can use between sessions to reduce stress, manage anxiety and panic, and address depressive symptoms. Vakhtang combines insight-focused work with skills that support day-to-day functioning, helping clients become more aware of internal processes and develop greater emotional clarity.

At the core of his approach is attention to values, relationships, and life story - areas he views as central to finding meaning and direction during chaotic or stressful times. By exploring these themes within the therapeutic relationship, he aims to help people gain important insights and move toward a clearer sense of purpose. He welcomes messages and checks them several times a day for those who wish to reach out.

Online Therapy and Therapeutic Approaches

Vakhtang commonly integrates psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness therapy, and trauma-focused techniques into his online work. Psychodynamic therapy involves exploring early relationships, recurring patterns, and unconscious influences to help individuals gain insight into current feelings and behaviors; it is often helpful for those wanting deeper understanding of long-standing emotional patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-focused awareness and techniques to reduce reactivity and regulate emotions, which can support stress, anxiety, and mood regulation. Trauma-focused therapy centers on approaches that address the impacts of traumatic experiences, helping people process difficult memories and reduce their ongoing effects.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Vakhtang works with each person to identify what aligns best with their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts methods over time so therapy feels tailored and practical.

Online sessions using video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limits. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals from familiar locations, schedule appointments more easily, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
