About Valentina

Valentina Gasparro is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 25 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She draws on a broad set of therapeutic methods to support people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, grief, relationship and intimacy challenges, addiction concerns, and a range of life transitions. Valentina blends practical skills training with reflective work to help clients build resilience and improve day-to-day functioning.

Her approach is person-centered and flexible, informed by modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered principles. She emphasizes mindfulness, coping skills, and compassion while tailoring treatment to each person’s goals and circumstances.

Valentina works with English and Italian speakers and accepts international clients while practicing in Illinois. Her style prioritizes collaboration and empowers clients to make changes that feel meaningful and sustainable.

Throughout her career she has provided individual, group, and family therapy and integrates trauma-aware techniques alongside solution-focused and meditative strategies. Prospective clients can expect a warm, experienced clinician who combines evidence-informed tools with an emphasis on personal growth and self-discovery.

Online approaches that combine skills and connection

Valentina often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when working online. ACT focuses on helping people clarify what matters most and develop practical, mindful actions that move them toward valued living despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy emphasizes identifying and reshaping emotional responses in relationships to improve connection and reduce distress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time so the work stays relevant and effective.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible and accessible. These formats allow people to engage in skills practice, emotion-focused work, and reflective conversations from varied settings and schedules, supporting continuity of care when in-person visits aren’t possible.
