How Valerie's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's own experience, with the therapist offering empathy and support to help people explore feelings, clarify values, and make decisions. This approach is well suited to relationship concerns, life transitions, and building self-understanding.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, providing practical tools to manage stress, anxiety, and mood challenges. CBT can be used to break patterns that contribute to emotional distress and to develop new coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Valerie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques from client-centered and cognitive behavioral perspectives, and partners with clients to try strategies and refine the plan over time.
Online sessions can be conducted by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied life circumstances. These options make it easier to access therapy from home, coordinate around work and caregiving, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult.
