About Valerie
LCSW in Montana with 8 years of experience, Valerie Rasicci focuses on stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. She provides individual therapy for adults who are dealing with relationship strain, life transitions, low confidence, or the effects of past trauma.

Valerie offers a straightforward approach. She listens to what feels most urgent and helps set small, manageable goals.

For adults in blended families or juggling parenting roles, therapy can focus on clearer boundaries and practical strategies for smoother household routines.
Valerie explains options and next steps in plain language so people know what to expect. She asks about current stressors and what has and hasn't helped before. This helps shape a plan that fits the person’s goals and daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Evidence-based techniques form the foundation of her work. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and depression. This method helps people notice automatic thoughts, test them, and practice new coping responses in daily life.Another frequent focus is trauma-informed work that moves at the person’s pace. This involves stabilizing symptoms, teaching grounding and emotion-regulation skills, and then processing painful memories when the client is ready. It is aimed at reducing symptoms like hyperarousal and intrusive memories and improving daily functioning.
Finding the best approach is part of the early work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews what has helped in the past and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
The biography does not specify exact session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. For practical reasons, people often choose a session style that fits quieter surroundings, bandwidth needs, or time constraints rather than travel.
