Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Valerie Presley
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, respectful relationship where the therapist listens deeply and follows the client’s lead. This approach helps people explore personal values, build self-understanding, and work through life transitions at a comfortable pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and then testing and reshaping those patterns. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and practical coping skills. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which supports coping with stress, worry, and mood challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Valerie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. This collaborative exploration helps ensure therapy remains practical and relevant.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to access support from home. These options increase convenience and accessibility while allowing licensed professionals to deliver effective, personalized care in formats that suit different schedules and communication styles.
