About Valerie
Valerie Savoie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW, CSW) with 28 years of clinical experience. She practices in Florida and helps people with stress, anxiety, family and parenting concerns, self-esteem, life changes, relationships, grief, sleep, and career coaching.
Valerie keeps sessions practical and direct. She listens for recurring thoughts and patterns that get in the way. Then she works with clients to try concrete alternatives and new habits. She uses clear skills and short exercises people can use between sessions.
Her background includes multiple approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), client-centered methods, mindfulness, and solution-focused work. Valerie uses these tools to help people notice unhelpful thinking, test different responses, and build simpler routines that reduce stress.
She often helps people dealing with abandonment, body image, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, loneliness, and workplace problems. Discussions may cover communication problems, forgiveness, self-love, and questions about life purpose or midlife change.
Valerie describes her role as guide and collaborator. She teaches skills, suggests techniques, and supports people as they try new ways of handling hard moments. Practical steps and short-term goals are part of how she structures work.
Sessions note that she is licensed in Colorado and Florida as LCSW, with other licensure pending in Utah, and that she asks clients to provide a photo ID and contact information prior to beginning work.
How Valerie Uses Structured Approaches in Online Sessions
Valerie relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to find and change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. CBT focuses on small, testable changes and practical skills that can reduce anxiety and improve sleep, confidence, and daily routines.She also draws on client-centered techniques that prioritize listening and reflecting back what the person says. That approach helps clarify goals and keeps sessions focused on what the client wants to change. Mindfulness methods are used to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help with stress management.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try different techniques, and adjust based on what works. Sessions are planned together so exercises and homework match the person’s daily life and constraints.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, let people use shorter check-ins when needed, and allow choice about being on camera. Ask the therapist about scheduling, weekend or evening times, and any format details before the first session.
