Welcome! My name is Valerie Carmel and I am the owner and lead therapist at Valerie Carmel Therapy, LLC. We are a completely virtual therapy practice in Florida and Nevada. The decision to begin therapy is not always an easy one. You may be unsure where to start or what to expect. We are here to guide, empower and support you along the way. We believe therapy doesn't work if you don't like talking to your therapist, and there's research to back that up! We take pride in curating therapeutic spaces and alliances with our clients, so you feel heard, understood and empowered. By partnering with the right therapist, you will receive the strategies, knowledge and support to achieve your mental wellness goals. We pride ourselves in supporting Black female entrepreneurs and leaders in managing and beating the burnout of being the BOSS. Our areas of expertise include anxiety, trauma, depression, and stress management. Our approach is built on my Mental Wellness formula (trademark pending) that prioritizes self-care, self-awareness and self-growth. The goal is to teach you the tools to overcome the obstacles which impact your functioning personally, professionally and socially.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Every new client begins by completing 3 assessments and an intake session to gain insight about your needs and develop an individualized plan to facilitate your success. We also conduct quarterly reviews to ensure we are on the right path and monitor your progress.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

The clinical interventions utilized will be based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy to improve self-awareness, address negative beliefs/thoughts, develop a plan of action, and change behaviors to achieve the best outcomes. We are BIG on homework assignments, which can be handouts/worksheets, engaging in new experiences or practicing the strategies learned in session.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Our practice features therapists who focus on chronic illness, anxiety, childhood trauma, as well as the specialized needs of entrepreneurs, leaders and medical professionals. We focus on fostering increased self-awareness, self-care and self-growth to support you in developing a lifestyle that cultivates mental wellness.
