How her approaches translate to online sessions
Valerie incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on concrete exercises and short experiments to change patterns that maintain stress and anxiety. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful feelings without trying to push them away and clarify what matters most so behavior can align with those values.She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. That work tends to focus on patterns in communication and expectations and can help with intimacy and relationship problems. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process; she will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust based on what the client finds helpful and practical.

Many people find remote sessions help them keep consistency while applying skills in day-to-day settings, and the therapist will work with each person to set a pace and structure that fits their goals and routine.
