About Tania

Tania Valente is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and other life changes. She speaks English and Portuguese and works with individuals on practical goals with empathy and openness. Her approach centers on connection and collaboration.

She draws from Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotions and attachment patterns, and uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to build clearer choices and new skills.

Background and approach

She also uses EMDR for trauma work when appropriate. Tania has 18 years of clinical experience in settings such as inpatient psychiatric care, community health, university counseling centers, integrated behavioral health, hospice, and government services. That range has exposed her to many kinds of stressors, including substance use, grief, parenting strain, and end-of-life concerns.

Sessions tend to be straightforward and relational. She listens for what matters most to each person, then helps them try concrete steps - new ways of reacting, small behavior changes, or emotional processing - and checks in about how those steps feel. People can expect a supportive, down-to-earth style that focuses on usable tools and clearer emotional understanding.

She welcomes questions about her experience, background, or which therapeutic methods might fit a person’s needs.

Online support

How her approaches work online and in sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding and shifting emotional patterns that shape how people relate to themselves and others. It helps when feelings, attachment, or closeness get stuck and someone wants clearer emotional responses.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, while clarifying personal values and small actions that move a person toward those values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and decisions about life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for managing anxiety, depression, and sleep or routine disruptions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Then she and the client will try methods that fit, checking in and adjusting as needed in a collaborative way.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video lets for face-to-face conversation and emotional work, phone can be helpful when bandwidth is limited, shorter check-ins fit well into a workday via messaging, and text or live chat can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily rhythms.
