Virginia Wright-Johnson

About the Therapist

Hi, I am Virginia — it is nice to meet you! I’m passionate about empowering people with practical tools for living more meaningful lives. Bottom line: you are the expert on your life, and you have a right to thrive.

I can help with: trauma · grief · anxiety · depression · couples and communication

I work with adult individuals, couples, and groups. It’s a priority of mine that you feel understood, connected, and engaged, and that therapy is genuinely productive for you. My approach is person-centered, with practical cognitive-behavioral tools, and I am LGBTQIA+ aligned.

Couples and conflict are a particular strength: alongside my counseling degree (Oregon State University), I hold a master’s in Conflict and Dispute Resolution (University of Oregon) — formal mediation training I bring directly into couples work, using the Gottman Method to help partners communicate their wants, needs, and goals.

In my downtime I’m working out, learning new languages, and spoiling my fur babies. I would be honored to be part of your therapy journey — let’s get started!

I see clients by telehealth across Oregon.
