Dr. Valerie Zeiger, LPC

Dr. Valerie Zeiger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama with 15 years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, compassion fatigue, addictions, and relationship challenges. She approaches therapy from an integrative, client-centered perspective that honors each person as the expert of their own story while drawing on evidence-informed methods to address patterns that interfere with well-being and meaningful living.

Dr. Zeiger integrates forward-facing therapy (FFT) alongside approaches that help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts, emotional responses, and relational patterns. She works with individuals navigating abandonment and attachment issues, codependency, communication and control challenges, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and substance use concerns, as well as first responder stress and family-of-origin wounds. Her practice also supports people coping with guilt, shame, emptiness, and changes that come with major life transitions.

She emphasizes practical self-regulation skills to interrupt the body’s stress response and help clients return to a calmer state, while collaborating to tailor treatment to each person’s needs and goals. Dr. Zeiger invites those ready to pursue a more purposeful and satisfying life to take the courageous first step toward healing and growth.
