About Antoinette

Antoinette Goss is a licensed counselor with a decade of clinical experience who combines practical training and real-world perspective to support people facing a wide range of difficulties.

Background and approach

She holds LMHC and LPC credentials and practices in Virginia, drawing on evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with acceptance and emotionally focused approaches to tailor care to each person’s situation.

Her work centers on helping clients manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, anger, career challenges, bipolar disorder, and life transitions. Additional areas of focus include HIV/AIDS, infidelity and jealousy, multicultural concerns and prejudice, postpartum depression, process addictions, self-harm, sex addiction, and sexual assault and abuse.

Antoinette frames therapy as a collaborative process that emphasizes practical skills, coping strategies, and emotional insight. Clients can expect a therapist who blends professional training with empathy and straightforward guidance.

She accepts international clients and offers multiple remote formats to fit varied schedules and needs, encouraging people to reach out when they are ready to explore change and healing.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Antoinette often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related concerns. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support people in clarifying values and developing willingness to experience difficult thoughts and feelings while pursuing meaningful goals.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process; she works with each client to select techniques and therapeutic methods that fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances rather than relying on a single model. This collaborative planning helps shape a personalized path forward and allows methods to be adjusted as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Antoinette is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care from varied locations and to use brief check-ins or longer sessions as needs change, supporting ongoing skill practice and emotional support without requiring travel.
