About Valencia
Valencia uses a mix of person-centered and strength-based methods to build on what is already working in a person's life. She also draws on solution-focused ideas to set clear, manageable goals and on mindfulness and cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She adapts these tools to fit each person's needs and circumstances.
In sessions she emphasizes partnership and practical steps. That can mean naming patterns, trying small behavior changes, practicing stress-management strategies, or developing clearer communication skills. The work often touches on relationships, parenting, career stress, and coping after loss or trauma.
Her background includes 16 years of experience in counseling adults across a range of concerns, including addiction, grief, bipolar challenges, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing first responder issues, veteran and armed forces concerns, and multicultural stressors.
Valencia practices in Georgia and offers therapy in English. Her goal is to support people as they work toward clearer goals and a more manageable day-to-day life.

In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit work on stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes into a busy schedule.
