Therapeutic Approaches and Online Therapy Options
Valerie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, or addiction, and then develop practical skills to shift those patterns and respond differently to difficult situations. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and concrete goals, helping people build on what already works and create short-term steps toward change.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Valerie works collaboratively with each person to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions to the presenting concerns and adjusts the plan as progress develops, inviting client input throughout the journey.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in that collaborative work. Sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter contacts can occur through live chat or text-based messaging when appropriate. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care, and access licensed professionals from different locations while pursuing meaningful progress.
