About Valentina

LCPC (Illinois) with 25 years of experience, Valentina Gasparro works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, intimacy issues, sleep problems, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and related areas. She speaks English and Italian and accepts international clients.

Valentina draws on several practical approaches in sessions. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take action. She incorporates Attachment-Based ideas to look at patterns in relationships. Client-Centered methods guide how she listens and responds. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy appear when skills training or emotion work is helpful.

Sessions focus on clear goals and everyday skills. She uses mindfulness and meditative techniques alongside solution-focused steps. Trauma-informed care and emotion work are offered for people coping with past harm or loss. Therapy can include talk, skill practice, and guidance for making choices that match what matters to the client.

Her background includes a master’s degree in clinical psychology and a long career across individual, group, and family settings. The LCPC credential listed is Illinois LCPC. That credential is noted here exactly as provided.

Practical concerns such as parenting strain, work stress, compassion fatigue, and end-of-life matters are within her stated focus. She also addresses guilt, shame, infidelity, isolation, and issues tied to life purpose and self-love. People who prefer services in Italian can request sessions in that language.

To begin, visitors are asked to use the platform matching flow to select online therapy options, complete a short questionnaire, and schedule an initial visit. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches used during online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking small, practical steps toward those values. It is often used for stress, anxiety, life changes, and problems with motivation.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at recurring patterns in relationships and how early bonds influence current reactions. It is useful for intimacy issues, relationship strain, and working through attachment-related anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to determine which methods fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining ACT, attachment work, skills from DBT, or client-centered listening over several sessions.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking so you know what to expect. Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting appointments into a busy day, shorter check-ins when needed, and being able to choose quieter surroundings or avoid travel. These aspects can make it easier to maintain continuity of care while exploring values, relationships, and emotion regulation.
