Remote sessions with an integrative therapy focus
Valerie conducts remote work using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different communication preferences. She frames online work as a collaborative effort, helping each person decide which tools and pacing best support their goals. Her approach emphasizes practical skill building alongside reflection and meaning-making.
She frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop specific strategies for managing anxiety, mood shifts, and stress. Mindfulness practices are offered as a complement to help increase awareness and reduce reactivity. Attachment-based work and the Gottman Method guide relational and family-focused sessions, supporting exploration of interaction patterns and communication habits.
Clients who prefer a balance of skill-oriented exercises and deeper narrative or attachment-focused exploration may find a good fit. Valerie tailors remote sessions to each person’s needs and collaborates on treatment planning and session formats.
