About Valerie
Valerie Engel is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping people rebuild confidence and manage stress. She listens closely and helps clients notice their strengths. Her style is straightforward and practical, with an emphasis on small skills that make daily life easier.
Clients often come for help with low self-esteem, sleep problems, addiction, depression, or relationship struggles. Valerie works with issues such as trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, career stress, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses related challenges like codependency, body image, and difficulty managing change.
In sessions she combines client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy. That means she helps people understand patterns of thinking and then practices new ways of responding. Sessions can include skill building, goal setting, and communication practice to improve relationships and coping.
Valerie began her counseling work in addiction and recovery in 2007 and added broader mental health therapy in 2017. She has 18 years of experience and holds LPC and LMHC credentials. Her background includes work with co-occurring disorders, grief, parenting and care-related stress, and sleep difficulties.
Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. People who want practical strategies, clearer thinking, and steady support often find her approach helpful. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
