CBT-Informed Care and Online Access

Valerie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify patterns of thinking that contribute to stress, anxiety, and depression, then learn practical strategies to shift those patterns and improve daily functioning. CBT often involves setting clear goals, practicing new skills between sessions, and using structured exercises to address symptoms like panic attacks and low mood.

Her approach is collaborative: finding the right fit between technique and client happens through conversation and shared decision-making. She works with clients to clarify goals, test strategies, and adjust methods over time so the plan reflects each person’s needs, preferences, and progress.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from different locations and to use brief check-ins or longer conversations depending on what the therapist and client agree will best support therapeutic work.
