Virginia Nielsen, MS

Psychotherapist
VA
Virginia Nielsen is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who graduated with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella University. She has been actively working in the mental health field since 2010. Virginia's career began with a focus on clients with developmental disorders and Autism, where she taught life skills and behavioral management. By 2012, she expanded her work to include children and families, implementing behavioral plans, coping strategies, parenting techniques, and assisting with school district 504 plans. She earned her master’s degree in 2016 and subsequently gained experience with adults, working in group settings and conducting intake assessments. Virginia's therapeutic approach is eclectic, drawing from CBT, behavioral therapy, ACT, and Biblical counseling, with the flexibility to incorporate motivational interviewing, family systems, and person-centered therapies according to client needs. Committed to a client-centered philosophy, she emphasizes personalized care based on individual needs and cultural backgrounds, supplemented by regular progress assessments. Inspired by her journey from a homeless teen to a dedicated counselor, Virginia founded her private practice, Sacred Dreams, with the belief that everyone deserves to live free from the impact of mental illnesses. Beyond her professional role, Virginia is a martial artist of 15 years and a writer of sci-fi-fantasy books and poetry. Her hobbies, including art and crocheting, play a key role in managing her own ADHD and Autism symptoms, reflecting the personal touch she brings to her practice.
