About Tania

Tania Valente is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, depression, grief, and other life challenges. She communicates plainly and aims to build a supportive working relationship with each person. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese, and she is able to work with international clients.

Tania uses practical, interpersonal methods rather than jargon. She guides people through steps they can try between sessions.

Background and approach

She also uses approaches that draw on thoughts and behavior, emotions, and focused therapeutic techniques to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Her background includes many settings over 18 years of practice. That experience covers hospital-based care, community health programs, university counseling centers, hospice, nonprofit work, and integrated behavioral health.

Those roles exposed her to a wide range of life stressors and treatment situations. In practice she blends approaches to fit a person's goals. That can mean working on patterns in relationships, changing unhelpful thought habits, or using focused techniques to process painful memories.

The focus is on clear goals, steady progress, and practical steps clients can use in everyday life. Tania welcomes conversations about specific concerns and will explain how different approaches might help. People who value a calm, relational style and concrete tools may find her way of working useful.

Online support

How online therapy and therapeutic methods work together

Hypnotherapy is a focused approach that uses guided relaxation and suggestion to help people change habits, manage stress, or reduce symptoms that get in the way of daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match personal values. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and follows the client's lead to build understanding and confidence.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how different methods might fit. That conversation is collaborative and can lead to blending techniques when that fits a client's needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit care into a busy life. Video lets people work face to face for deeper emotional work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat and messaging offer quick check-ins or shorter reflections between meetings. These options give flexibility while still allowing therapists to use hypnotherapy, ACT, or client-centered techniques in ways that suit each person.
