Background and approach
Valerie adapts therapy to each person's values and goals, including options for faith-informed support when requested. Her practice blends attachment perspectives with cognitive behavioral ideas. That means she helps people notice patterns in relationships and in thinking, and then practices new ways of responding.
Motivational interviewing and psychodynamic thinking also inform how she explores underlying motivations and long-standing family influences. Typical work includes building coping skills for anxiety, processing trauma and loss, addressing addictive behaviors, and improving communication in close relationships. She also helps caregivers manage fatigue and people facing work stress or questions of life purpose.
Valerie aims to make progress feel achievable. She uses straightforward language and practical tools, while also creating space to process painful memories. For many clients this leads to clearer choices, fewer reactive patterns, and steadier emotional ground.
How Valerie’s Approaches Work Online
Valerie often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current connections. This approach helps people recognize patterns in closeness, trust, and conflict so they can build healthier ways of relating.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT gives practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress by identifying thought patterns and practicing different responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Valerie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversations and skill practice, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
