Approaches that guide online sessions and practical benefits

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the individual’s experience, offering a supportive space where the therapist listens closely and helps the person clarify feelings and values. This approach is useful for building self-esteem, improving communication, and navigating relationship and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical strategies to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, low mood, and for developing coping skills that translate into everyday routines.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and forward-looking goals, helping clients set small, manageable steps toward change. It can be particularly effective for resolving specific problems, improving motivation, and making steady progress when time or resources are limited.

Finding the right blend of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Valerie works collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access support from different locations. Licensed professionals can provide meaningful guidance and practical tools through remote formats, helping clients move forward while maintaining convenience and continuity of care.
