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 allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
