Background and approach
She prefers practical tools people can use between meetings. Mindfulness practices, paced breathing, and goal-focused steps are common parts of her approach. She aims to help people notice what matters and take small, steady actions toward it.
Her style blends several methods to fit a person’s needs. That might mean focusing on emotions, improving attachment patterns, or building day-to-day coping skills. Sometimes therapy centers on values and committed action.
Other times it emphasizes skills for managing strong feelings. Valentina has worked across a range of settings over her career. She describes herself as personable and direct, with an emphasis on helping clients make changes that feel meaningful.
Her work includes individual sessions and group formats. Sessions are offered in English and Italian. She is open to working with people from outside the U.S. through online formats.

04Online support
Approaches and online therapy that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take steps toward those values. It focuses on small actions and building tolerance for difficult thoughts and feelings rather than trying to eliminate them entirely.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how past experiences shape current connections. This approach can help people improve how they relate to others and reduce repeating painful patterns.
Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s goals at the center of work and relies on a respectful, supportive relationship to encourage growth. It often involves reflective listening and helping people find their own solutions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose and adapt methods based on a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may shift over time as priorities change and progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different day-to-day needs. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation when travel is difficult. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief support, reflections between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or travel demands while keeping the focus on practical, usable strategies.
