About Valentina
Valentina Gasparro is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 25 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, parenting strain, and struggles with intimacy or self-esteem. She speaks English and Italian and practices from Illinois.
Valentina draws on several approaches to meet each person's needs. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to attend to feelings in relationships and close bonds. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts without getting stuck, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotional regulation is needed.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be practical and focused on everyday life. Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She listens first, then works with people to set clear goals.
Mindfulness and simple meditative exercises are offered when they fit a person's goals. Therapy can include short skills practice or deeper conversations about past hurts. Valentina has worked in a variety of settings over many years and brings that experience to individual care.
She supports clients coping with life changes, career stress, compassion fatigue, and long-term mood concerns like bipolar disorder. She also addresses relationship issues such as infidelity, jealousy, and loneliness. People who want flexible ways to meet can use video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Starting begins by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on feelings and how they shape important relationships. In online work this approach helps people name emotions, notice patterns, and change how they respond in close connections. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and supports learning new ways to connect and feel safer with others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best given their goals, concerns, and preferences. Sessions can mix techniques over time so people get skills for the moment and deeper emotional work when they are ready.
Online therapy sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for conversations that benefit from seeing expressions, while phone can be a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat or text messaging can work for quick check-ins, short skills practice, or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, across locations, and different time needs.
