About Velery

Velery Fasano-Gilman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She has supported people coping with stress, anxiety, depressed mood, grief, trauma and abuse, and a range of relationship and family concerns.

Background and approach

Her background includes work in counseling centers, shelters, and psychiatric hospitals, which has informed a practical, resource-oriented approach. She cultivates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult feelings like anger, shame, and isolation while building skills for better emotional regulation and communication.

Velery draws on evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques, to help clients reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop coping strategies. She also integrates acceptance and commitment principles and client-centered practices to tailor care to each person’s values and goals.

People who seek support for self-esteem, motivation, caregiver stress, social anxiety, or impulse-related difficulties may find her style collaborative and grounded. Velery emphasizes gradual progress and practical tools so clients can move forward from setbacks with greater clarity and resilience.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and building practical coping skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood difficulties. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing difficult emotions, clarifying personal values, and taking committed action toward meaningful goals, which can help with avoidance, grief, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy centers the therapeutic relationship and a nonjudgmental listening stance, giving space for clients to explore feelings and find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. Velery works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then blends methods so treatment fits the individual. This means approaches may be adjusted over time as priorities and circumstances change.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access regular support from a licensed professional without needing to travel, and they allow clients to practice skills and stay connected to care across daily life.
