About Valerie

Valerie Rasicci is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. She offers individual therapy for adults who feel overwhelmed by life transitions, relationship strain, or motivation and confidence struggles. Valerie writes in plain, steady language and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.

With eight years of professional experience in clinical settings, Valerie draws on common evidence-based techniques to guide recovery from post-traumatic stress and to rebuild self-worth. She works with people dealing with blended family issues, communication struggles, control concerns, guilt and shame, and problems connected to sexuality and sexual assault. Her approach centers on steady support rather than quick fixes.

Sessions aim to make difficult topics easier to talk about. Valerie helps clients name what matters most, set realistic goals, and try small changes that add up. She encourages self-compassion and clearer communication with others as part of lasting change.

Her practice is based in Montana and she provides services in English. Therapy is framed around each person’s pace and goals, with attention to emotional safety and practical problem solving. People who want to start are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability.

Valerie works under her Montana LCSW credential and uses a subscription billing model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

Approaches that support healing and stronger self-worth

Valerie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and healing. One common approach helps people process trauma and reduce its hold on daily life by naming painful memories, practicing grounding strategies, and building coping skills to manage distress. This can be useful for survivors of sexual assault and others with post-traumatic stress.

Another approach focuses on building self-esteem and self-love through skill building and behavioral experiments. It involves noticing harsh self-talk, testing new ways of relating to oneself, and practicing small actions that reinforce confidence and agency. This work pairs well with addressing guilt, shame, and control issues.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will review your needs, goals, and preferences and recommend techniques that fit. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most, so clients take an active role in shaping their care.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the specific session options before booking since the biography does not list formats. Many people find virtual work helpful because it can fit into a busy day, cut travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about scheduling and how sessions can be arranged to match your routine.
