Licensed to practice in Florida and accepts 50 insurances. Specializes in Child or Adolescent, Coping Skills, Foster Care/Adoption
My name is Valerie Rodriguez and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida. I have 11 years of experience working with individuals and families. I am dedicated to providing compassionate, client-centered care that supports individuals in creating meaningful change in a safe and non-judgmental space. My style is collaborative and strengths based. I value all of my clients and truly care about the reasoning they are seeking counseling.
Our first session will start out with getting to know you and having the opportunity to discuss what brought you to counseling. We will also collaboratively work on goal setting during this session.
My greatest strength is that I am a good listener. It is important to me that all of my clients feel heard and valued.
I work with individuals of all ages helping them navigate through life's challenges. My ideal client would be someone who is motivated to create positive change and open to exploring new perspectives that might be presented.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In therapy sessions, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy by helping my clients identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more realistic perspectives. I pair this with goal setting and skill building to help my clients learn new coping skills.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
In Solution Focused Brief Treatment, I focus on my clients' strengths, resources, and past successes rather than the problem. We work together to identify clear and achievable goals, as well as identify what is already working in helping them get closer to their desired goal.
