About Viergelie

Viergelie Liberal is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping individuals navigate stress, anxiety, life transitions, relationship difficulties, and a range of personal concerns.

Background and approach

With nine years of clinical experience and credentials as an LMSW and LCSW, she takes a warm, interactive approach that emphasizes respect and compassion while encouraging clients to view challenges as opportunities for growth. Her practice integrates evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-based perspectives, and client-centered care to tailor support to each person's needs.

Clients can expect a collaborative therapeutic relationship in which the therapist offers support and encouragement as they work toward practical changes.

Viergelie welcomes people ready to take steps toward personal growth and recovery, helping them build coping skills and clearer pathways forward in day-to-day life.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support and Growth

Viergelie blends cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment-informed perspectives with client-centered care to tailor online sessions to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and emotions, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and mood-related concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns and early bonds to help people understand how past connections shape current relationships and emotional responses, which can support work on intimacy, family dynamics, and communication. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathic therapeutic relationship that centers the client's goals and pace, fostering a collaborative environment for personal growth.

Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist works together with clients to clarify goals, try techniques that match their needs, and adjust methods as therapy progresses so the plan fits personal preferences and circumstances.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to continue care from different locations within Florida. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver ongoing support, skill-building, and reflective conversation in ways that can accommodate different communication styles and practical constraints.
