About Valerie
Valerie Bryan is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 37 years of experience in mental health care. She brings a warm, human-centered style to sessions and often introduces creative tools to help people name and work through painful feelings. Valerie aims to help people find more hope and humor early in therapy.
She draws on Jungian ideas and values from Native American spirituality to encourage balance, respect for differences, and gratitude.
Background and approach
These perspectives inform gentle invitations to face difficult emotions rather than avoid them. Valerie uses simple creative exercises at times, such as drawing or mapping, to make thoughts and relationships clearer. Her work often addresses anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem.
She also helps people dealing with relationship issues, intimacy concerns, addictions, career stress, and the emotional strain of caregiving. Practical coping and finding meaning are recurring themes in sessions. Valerie describes her approach as compassionate and humanistic.
She uses humor alongside empathy and may suggest brief, low-pressure art-based activities to offer a fresh perspective. No artistic skill is required for these exercises. Clients can expect a collaborative tone that balances facing hard feelings with small steps toward relief.
Valerie aims to help people release long-held pain, strengthen resilience, and notice more reasons for gratitude and laughter as they move forward.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Valerie often blends Jungian therapy and client-centered therapy in her work. Jungian therapy looks at symbols, dreams, and life themes to help people find deeper meaning and face difficult parts of themselves. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people feel understood so they can find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Valerie will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which ideas and techniques to try, and adjustments are made as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make participation easier. Video works well for longer conversations and creative exercises, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging can keep continuity between sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility so therapy can fit into busy lives.
