About Virginia
Virginia Hagen is a Florida LMHC with 35 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with depression, stress, anxiety, grief, eating concerns, addictions, and family issues. Her practice also addresses relationship and intimacy concerns, sleeping problems, parenting stress, and ADHD-related challenges.
She began her career as a registered nurse and worked in mental health settings for decades before moving into private practice. That nursing background informs a practical, problem-solving approach. She also has experience with custody-related matters and has worked with children who have special needs and ADHD.
Virginia integrates several therapy approaches to suit individual needs. She uses Attachment-Based techniques to look at relational patterns, Client-Centered methods to focus on the client's perspective, and Cognitive Behavioral strategies to address thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when useful.
Her training includes a Certificate in Christian Studies from Asbury Theological Seminary and ordination by the Federation of Christian Ministers. Virginia has served as a hospital chaplain intern and mentions work across inpatient and outpatient mental health services. These roles contribute to a broad clinical background.
She asks clients to begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not accepted.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Attachment-Based work focuses on how past and current relationships affect feelings and behavior. In online sessions this can mean looking at patterns in family roles, loyalty conflicts, and responses to change. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's perspective and priorities, so sessions often begin by asking what matters most and building from there. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and short homework tasks that can be used between appointments.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit the client's goals, needs, and preferences. Over the first few meetings she will check in and adjust methods as needed so the work stays useful and focused on practical changes.
The original profile does not specify which online formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. It can also let clients practice new skills in day-to-day settings and complete brief written exercises between meetings. Licensed professionals adapt their approach to what the client can reasonably use in everyday life.
