About Valerie
Valerie Saldierna is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, and self-esteem struggles. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and she accepts international clients.
Valerie uses evidence-based methods to address mood and trauma-related problems. In practice she blends skills training, insight work, and trauma processing to help people manage intense feelings and reduce reactive patterns. She talks through concrete techniques for handling overwhelm, frustration, and persistent worry so people can try them between sessions.
Her background includes work with attachment concerns, abandonment wounds, and relational problems that often sit beneath anger and shame. She also supports people facing life transitions such as divorce and blended family stressors, as well as those coping with mood disorders and post-traumatic stress. Valerie integrates these concerns into session plans rather than treating them in isolation.
Therapy sessions focus on practical steps and skill rehearsal. Valerie may introduce emotion regulation tools, communication strategies, and processing exercises matched to what a person brings to the room. She encourages small, testable changes and checks in about what works and what needs adjusting.
Clients should be prepared to complete a short matching questionnaire to get started and then schedule a first session. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How Valerie's approaches work in online sessions
Valerie draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that target intense emotions and trauma. Dialectical Behavior Therapy style skills training teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and practical communication habits. These skills help when anger flares suddenly or when frustration builds over time.She also uses trauma-focused processing methods that aim to reduce the hold traumatic memories have on current reactions. This work is paced to what the person can tolerate and often includes steps to stabilize strong emotions before deeper processing begins.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Valerie treats approach selection as collaborative and adjusts methods based on a person's goals and responses. She checks in about what helps, what feels too much, and adapts the plan accordingly.
