About Tania

Tania Valente offers therapy for people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy challenges, ADHD, grief, addiction, and other life transitions. She takes an interpersonal, systemic, and supportive stance that centers compassionate connection as a pathway for change.

Background and approach

Clients who seek a therapist who combines empathy with practical strategies will find her orientation collaborative and goal-focused. With 18 years of clinical experience, she has worked across inpatient psychiatric settings, community health, university counseling centers, hospice care, and integrated behavioral health programs.

Her training includes a Licensed Psychologist credential in Texas (LIC# 39799) and licensure as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in New Mexico (LIC# CMF0200391). She brings evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Gottman-influenced couples work into a client-centered practice.

Tania is fluent in English and Portuguese and accepts international clients, tailoring care to each person’s goals and preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and online flexibility

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and learning to accept difficult internal experiences while committing to meaningful action; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) centers on examining and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors through structured techniques, often helping with depression, anxiety, and coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) emphasizes understanding and reshaping emotional responses within relationships to improve connection and intimacy.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor interventions from these models rather than relying on a single method. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy aligns with what matters most to the client.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varying schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations, accommodate busy routines, and continue consistent care during life transitions or travel.
