Background and approach
Valerie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. She helps clients spot patterns that increase worry and tries out new ways of responding. That approach is paired with straightforward coaching around communication and problem solving.
Her work centers on collaboration. She treats each person as the expert in their life and builds on existing strengths. The aim is to increase confidence and practical coping skills rather than relying on long talk alone.
People meet by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit busy schedules. Valerie describes the first sessions as an opportunity to set goals and pick approaches that match the person's needs and pace.
CBT and practical online support for anxiety and life changes
Valerie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and stress. CBT focuses on building specific skills you can use between sessions to manage worry and improve daily routines.Her work emphasizes collaborative decision making. She will help clients choose the best approach based on their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust techniques over time if something isn’t working. Finding the right fit is part of the process and happens together, session by session.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you work face to face from different locations, phone sessions are easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can support shorter check-ins, and messaging helps maintain progress between appointments. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around parenting, work, and busy days while keeping the focus on practical change.
