About Valisa

The Gottman Method informs her work on relationship skills such as repair after conflict and building connection. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set short-term goals and identify immediate next steps to test between-session changes.

How her approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems active and testing small behavioral changes. Online sessions can use that same step-by-step format to practice new responses and set homework between meetings.The Gottman Method centers on specific relationship skills such as effective repair after arguments and building positive interactions. In remote sessions, couples can be guided through structured exercises and skill rehearsals with clear, timed steps.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on immediate goals and small experiments. Online meetings can be brief and targeted to set one or two practical next steps and review what changed since the prior session.
Deciding which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address. This means approaches may shift as needs become clearer.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or busy schedules by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when useful. Different session styles also let people choose quieter surroundings, avoid being on camera, or use shorter meetings to handle immediate problems without a full-length session.
