Valerie gives off such warm energy, she is compassionate, empathetic, extremely kind, respectful and just so real! which made it so easy for me to have such a genuine, trusting relationship with her.

More about Valerie
- 13 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a licensed clinical social worker licensed in North Carolina with over 12 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, pregnancy, birth, and post- partum issues, and various trauma related issues. I also helped many people who have military backgrounds, both active duty and retired.
My therapy style is personable, warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
I know it takes courage to make the step toward talking to someone that you don't know, however it has been my experience it gets much easier after you do. It will be mu pleasure to work with you to reach your goals. I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
