About Valerie

Dr. Valerie Zeiger is an LPC with 15 years of clinical experience who draws on integrative, evidence-informed therapies to help people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, compassion fatigue, addictions, relationship struggles, anger, low self-esteem, life transitions, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She frames clients as the experts of their own stories and partners with them to identify strengths, clarify values, and build practical skills that ease distress and improve daily functioning. Her work emphasizes learning simple self-regulation techniques to reduce physiological arousal and restore a calmer baseline.

Using a combination of acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment work, cognitive and emotion-focused interventions, and a client-centered stance, Dr. Zeiger helps clients uncover repetitive patterns and perceptions that keep them stuck.

She aims to create an individualized path forward that acknowledges past experiences while focusing on present choices and meaningful goals. Based in Alabama, she brings a compassionate, collaborative approach to therapy and supports people as they translate insight into lasting change.

Integrative Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients identify what matters most and take committed steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than being driven by them; this approach is often useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and emotional responses, offering ways to repair relational wounds and build more supported ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching practical skills to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and anger.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to consider goals, preferences, and presenting concerns and will tailor interventions from these evidence-based approaches to fit individual needs. This shared planning helps ensure therapy feels relevant and focused on meaningful change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without needing to travel, allowing therapy to fit more readily into daily life while still emphasizing practical skill-building and emotional processing.
