About Valerie
Dr. Valerie Zeiger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, compassion fatigue, addictions, relationship concerns, anger, low self-esteem, and life changes.
She sees ADHD-related issues as well and supports people working through attachment and abandonment wounds. She believes each person knows important parts of their own story. Sessions center on listening first, then naming patterns that get in the way.
Background and approach
She uses practical tools to help people calm their bodies and think differently about painful memories and stressful situations. Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centered work, and cognitive behavioral techniques. That mix helps address emotional pain, difficult relationships, and coping skills for daily life.
Therapy is collaborative and paced to the person's needs. Dr. Zeiger teaches simple self-regulation methods that interrupt the body’s stress response and bring people back to feeling calmer.
She also helps people notice how early relationships affect current reactions and choices. Over time clients practice new ways of responding to triggers and relapses. She aims to make the work useful and actionable.
Sessions focus on small steps that build toward clearer priorities and more reliable emotional balance. Dr. Zeiger supports each person in finding realistic ways to move forward.

Online support
Emotion-focused care through online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotional experiences and patterns in relationships so they can shift how they respond to strong feelings. EFT can be useful for people struggling with attachment wounds, intense grief, or repeating relationship problems.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values, while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT often helps with anxiety, stress, and coping through life transitions.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and trust. This approach helps people understand why they react a certain way and practice new ways of connecting and self-soothing.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work together with each person to pick techniques that fit their goals and comfort level. That collaboration allows adjustments over time as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full, face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules while keeping focus on practical emotional work and skill practice.
