About Tania

Tania Valente is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or major life changes. She speaks English and Portuguese and meets people where they are with straightforward support and practical steps. Many reach out for help with relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief, trauma, or struggles with sleep and substance use.

She brings 18 years of clinical experience in hospitals, community health, university counseling, hospice, and integrated care settings.

Background and approach

That background means she has worked with a wide range of life stressors and can draw on different care options to match a person's needs. Her practice emphasizes relationships and connection as a route to healing.

In sessions she uses a blend of approaches including Gottman Method work for relationship issues, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for managing painful thoughts, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for changing unhelpful habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is part of her toolkit when emotions are central to the problem. These methods are used in simple, down-to-earth ways, not technical language.

Tania favors a supportive, interpersonal style. She listens first and helps people set clear, achievable goals. Then she offers practical skills, experiments, and moments to try new ways of relating or coping.

People can expect a calm, direct clinician who aims to be flexible and responsive. She will tailor strategies to the situation, whether the focus is mood, relationships, parenting, or recovery from trauma. Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person's comfort.

Tania also has experience working with LGBT concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and career-related stress. She welcomes questions about which methods might fit best and will explain options in plain language.

Online support

Approaches that translate well to online care

Gottman Method focuses on communication patterns and rebuilding connection through specific skills and exercises. Online sessions can include guided conversations, skill practice, and structured check-ins to strengthen how people relate to one another. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take action despite painful thoughts or feelings; online ACT work often uses short exercises, values work, and behavioral experiments that fit easily into daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete changes like thought records and behavioral experiments that transfer well to video or messaging formats.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods match their goals and preferences. That may mean trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most, so clients shape the direction of care together with the therapist.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for scheduling and access. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins or written processing, and text-based messaging supports short updates or between-session support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or other commitments while using the chosen therapeutic tools.
