How Valerie Uses Evidence-Based Techniques in Remote Sessions
Valerie lists Dialectical Behavior Therapy as one of her approaches. DBT focuses on building practical skills for managing strong emotions, regulating behavior, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can help with anger, impulsivity, and mood instability.She also includes psychodynamic therapy, which looks at recurring patterns and early relationship influences. This work helps people understand why they repeat the same dynamics and how those patterns shape current problems.
EMDR is named as another option; it is a method used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity when that work is appropriate for the person.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Valerie will work collaboratively to decide which techniques match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That choice may change over time as therapy progresses.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins during a workday. Therapists often adapt exercises and skills practice so they work over video or phone formats when those are used.
