About Valorie

Valorie Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of experience working in mental health and substance use care.

Background and approach

She brings a background that includes rehabilitation counseling with an emphasis on physical disabilities, vocational supports, and developmental concerns, and she offers services such as case management, psychosocial rehabilitation, and life skills training to support transitions.

Her clinical work addresses distorted beliefs and attributions that can arise from physical or emotional abuse, and she integrates practical coaching with therapeutic care to help clients manage daily challenges. Her therapeutic stance is described as warm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion without stigmatizing labels.

She draws from cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered, existential, emotion-focused, and dialectical ideas to shape individualized treatment plans. Typical areas she addresses include anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, ADHD, sleep and eating difficulties, career concerns, and coping with life changes.

Valorie emphasizes empowerment, skill-building, and confidence development so clients can tackle problems and pursue a more fulfilling life. She invites those ready to begin change to take the first steps toward growth and healing.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Valorie uses cognitive behavioral methods to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; these techniques are practical and often focus on skill-building for anxiety, mood, and coping with life transitions. She also draws on client-centered principles, offering an empathic, nonjudgmental space in which clients' perspectives guide the pace and goals of therapy. Finally, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills are used when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness are priorities, providing concrete strategies for managing intense feelings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan over time as progress and priorities change.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access support from wherever the client is in Georgia. These options allow for flexible scheduling, ongoing skills practice between sessions, and different ways to communicate depending on comfort and need.
