About Valerie
Valerie Holcomb is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She works with adults facing addiction, trauma, grief, sleep problems, anger, and changes in life circumstances. Valerie also supports people dealing with intimacy issues, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and bipolar mood concerns.
Her approach is warm and conversational. Sessions focus on building a trusting relationship and moving at a pace that feels right for each person.
Background and approach
Valerie listens, asks questions, and helps clients set goals they can reach. She blends practical strategies with emotional work so people can make steady changes. Valerie draws from Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and express core emotions in relationships and personal challenges.
She pairs that with tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance strategies to shift unhelpful thinking and patterns. Attachment-based ideas are used when early relationship styles affect present difficulties. Clients can expect straightforward skills practice alongside deeper conversations about feelings and meaning.
Valerie tailors sessions to the issue at hand, whether that means coping skills for anxiety, planning around addiction recovery, or processing grief and trauma. She frames work as collaborative and goal-oriented. With 18 years of experience, Valerie has worked in hospitals, substance use programs, community clinics, schools, and correctional settings.
That range informs a flexible, no-nonsense style that aims to help people move from surviving to functioning and, when possible, to thriving.

Online support
How emotion-focused and behavior tools work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name the emotions that drive difficult patterns in relationships and personal life. Online sessions can guide clients to explore those feelings and try new ways of expressing needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward valued actions, which can reduce struggle with anxiety, depression, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and helps people shift unhelpful patterns in relating to others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Valerie will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean focusing first on emotion processing, then adding practical coping skills, or mixing acceptance strategies with cognitive tools depending on the presenting issues.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins, skill coaching, or a way to keep momentum between sessions. These options help make consistent therapy more manageable around work, family, and travel commitments.
