About Tania
Tania Valente is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Texas who brings 18 years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma, and other life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese, and she accepts international clients.
She draws on practical, relationship-focused methods that center what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
In sessions she listens closely, asks straightforward questions, and helps clients set realistic goals they can try between meetings. The tone is warm and direct, aimed at reducing overwhelm and making steady progress. Her background includes work in hospital, community health, university counseling, hospice, and integrated behavioral health settings.
That range gives her experience with crisis care, long-term struggles, and transitions such as bereavement or career shifts. She has supported people coping with addiction, bipolar mood concerns, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue. Tania uses a mix of approaches that suit different needs, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral methods, emotionally-focused and systemic perspectives, and EMDR for trauma work.
She matches techniques to what the client wants to achieve rather than following a single formula. In practical terms, she offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. New clients complete a short questionnaire to help match goals and schedule sessions that fit their life.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Tania combines several practical therapies to meet common concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values; it supports work on chronic stress, anxiety, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve sleep and mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotional patterns in close relationships and can help people address intimacy and connection problems.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust strategies over time. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to prioritize during online sessions.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, shorter coaching-style exchanges, or when a written record of ideas helps with practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit care into busy days and different time zones.
