About Valerie Bryan
Influenced by Jungian theory and aspects of Native American spirituality, she emphasizes balance, respect for differences, and gratitude while also attending to the darker sides of personality that, when acknowledged, can become sources of growth. Valerie often encourages clients to embrace small creative tasks - no artistic skill is required - as a means of expressing emotions, clarifying relationships, or symbolizing a situation that feels overwhelming.
She aims for clients to experience hope and optimism early in the therapeutic process and works collaboratively to release pain, strengthen resilience, and increase capacity for loving oneself and others. Valerie integrates insight-oriented approaches with practical coping strategies to promote lasting change and more authentic living.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches with Online Care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape patterns of closeness and trust. It helps people work through issues like abandonment, intimacy concerns, and relational trauma by identifying interaction patterns and building safer ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and the client’s own capacity for growth. In this approach the therapist creates a supportive, nonjudgmental environment that helps with self-esteem, depression, and finding personal direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-oriented approach that helps people recognize and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and support healthier coping strategies.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic work. Valerie takes a collaborative stance, listening to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences and adjusting methods so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single model. She also may incorporate creative exercises from her art therapy background to help clarify feelings and create new perspectives.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when care happens. Video calls allow face-to-face connection, phone sessions work when video is not convenient, and live chat or text-based messaging can support ongoing processing between sessions. These options make it easier to access therapy around work, family, or mobility constraints and to maintain continuity of care over time.
