01About Valerie
Valerie Pacheco helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and the aftermath of trauma. She brings a calm, nonjudgmental presence and encourages clear, honest conversation about what’s worrying you. Valerie is an LPCC, which stands for Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, and she has 12 years of experience in clinical settings across California.
Her work focuses on practical steps clients can use right away. She often helps people build coping skills, manage panic and social anxiety, and rebuild confidence after difficult experiences.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with pregnancy and postpartum challenges, infertility-related stress, and workplace strain. Valerie draws on client-centered methods to make sessions feel collaborative and respectful of each person’s pace.

04Online support
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience without judgment. It helps people feel heard and supported while they decide what changes to make. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thinking patterns and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, panic, and unhelpful reactions. Mindfulness therapy trains attention to the present moment and simple exercises to lower stress and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose which methods fit best based on goals, symptoms, and personal preferences. That plan can change as progress is made and new needs appear.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use face-to-face interaction when helpful, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter check-in is needed, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments while still using the same therapeutic approaches.
