About Valerie
Dr. Valerie Zeiger is an LPC with 15 years of experience who focuses on building stronger emotional connections and practical coping skills. She centers work on attachment patterns and everyday strategies to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and the fallout from trauma and addiction.
She believes people know their story best and brings a calm, listening approach to sessions. Clients learn simple self-regulation tools to interrupt intense body reactions and return to a steadier state.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what helps in daily life. Her practice blends Attachment-Based Therapy with cognitive and emotion-focused techniques. She helps people identify repeating patterns, clarify values, and choose actions that match what matters to them.
The approach is collaborative and tailored to each person’s needs. Over 15 years she has worked with concerns such as compassion fatigue, first responder stress, codependency, and substance problems alongside relationship and communication struggles. She also supports people facing abandonment, family of origin issues, anger, and self-esteem problems.
Dr. Zeiger uses a mix of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy as needed. The result is practical therapy that links understanding to change.
She guides each person toward clearer choices and manageable steps forward.

Online support
Online approaches that focus on attachment and action
Dr. Zeiger combines Attachment-Based Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Client-Centered Therapy in online work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape emotional responses; it can help people notice and change repeating interaction habits. ACT emphasizes clarifying values and taking small meaningful steps even when feelings are hard, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and helping the person feel heard so they can find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Dr. Zeiger works together with each person to test what fits best and adjusts methods based on goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and paced to what the person needs at the time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face work for emotion-focused techniques. Phone sessions can fit a busy day or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins or step-by-step coaching easier. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping treatment consistent and focused.
