Online support
Therapy approaches and flexible online care
Valerie draws on the Gottman Method to help people notice interaction patterns and improve communication in relationships. That work often involves learning straightforward conversation skills and exercises to reduce conflict and increase connection. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and bonding, which can be helpful for intimacy and abandonment concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice new behaviors that reduce anxiety and depression.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Valerie will work collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, preferences, and daily life. Together they review what helps, try techniques in sessions, and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more accessible. Video is useful when visual cues matter, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can fit quick check-ins or flexible scheduling. These options aim to make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the work goal-focused and practical.
