Valerie Smith
I am licensed marriage and family therapist and credentialed alcoholism and substance abuse counselor. I work with individuals, couples, and families. My approach is cognitive-behavioral strength-based approach. I focus on helping people invalidate negative thoughts and become aware of their strengths in order to improve their confidence and self-esteem. With couples, I focus on assisting with improving communication, developing a better understanding of one another, and compromising.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session, clients can expect me to take the time understand them and their problems. The clients are the experts on their lives and I allow them to teach me everything I need to know. I take this time in order to build rapport and to provide effective support. I allow the clients to start where they are comfortable and move at their own pace.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My strengths as a provider are my patience, humility, respect for my clients, concern for my clients, and my encouragement.

Fully bookedMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients invalidate negative thoughts and become more aware of their strengths. I use CBT to help clients overcome the past and move forward with confidence.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
I utilize emotionally focused therapy to help couples communicate more effectively by focusing less on expressing anger and taking the time to express what they need from one another. I use EFT to break repetitive negative patterns in the relationship.
