About Valerie
Valerie Rasicci is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Montana with eight years of experience. She offers individual therapy for adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns. Valerie also works with people navigating family conflict, trauma and abuse, and the specific strains that come with blended family issues.
Her style is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, usable steps. She helps people talk through current struggles, sort out emotions tied to past events, and try new ways of responding in day-to-day life.
Valerie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and patterns that keep problems repeating. That can include looking at thoughts and behaviors, building coping skills for strong emotions, and processing difficult experiences at a pace the client sets. The approach is chosen to fit what each person needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
She works with adults who want help with relationship strain, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, or challenges tied to sexual assault and abuse. Valerie also supports women and young adults facing transitions or identity concerns.
People who want to get started are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Valerie notes that her sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and that costs vary by location.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Many clients find evidence-based approaches useful in therapy. Cognitive-behavioral methods focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. Trauma-focused techniques help people process and make sense of painful memories in a paced way, aiming to reduce the hold those memories have on current moods and reactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit best based on goals, symptoms, and what feels manageable. That planning can change as progress is made or new issues come up.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during work breaks, or letting someone avoid being on camera when they prefer audio only. Talk with the therapist about timing, length, and any format preferences when scheduling so sessions match everyday routines.
