Remote care and therapeutic approach

Dr. Vallerie Hancock offers remote sessions delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so clients can choose the communication style that fits their routine. Remote meetings are arranged to allow for ongoing work on mood, anxiety, relationship dynamics, trauma, and life transitions while maintaining regular contact and continuity of care.

She integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take value-driven steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete strategies to manage symptoms and daily challenges. Client-Centered Therapy provides space for clients to set the agenda while the clinician offers empathic listening and reflective support.

These approaches can be combined to match individual preferences: those seeking skill-building may find CBT and ACT a close fit, while people who want exploratory, non-directive support may respond well to a Client-Centered focus. Collaborative planning guides which techniques are emphasized during remote sessions.
