Client-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Support

Valerie uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to guide her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on providing a warm, nonjudgmental space where the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s priorities - this approach helps people gain self-awareness, strengthen self-worth and explore personal values. CBT is a structured, skills-based method that helps clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learn practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Valerie treats that choice as a collaborative decision. She works with each client to assess needs, goals and preferences, then tailors techniques and pacing so the therapy fits the person rather than the other way around.

Online therapy with Valerie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit appointments into busy lives and to continue work through transitions or when travel is difficult. These options provide flexibility in how and when clients engage, while maintaining the continuity of care that helps progress unfold session by session.
