About Tania
Tania Valente is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who focuses on practical help for everyday struggles. She helps people facing stress, anger, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, grief, sleep problems, parenting challenges, and career stress. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese, and she also works with international clients.
Tania uses a warm, interpersonal style that centers on strong therapeutic connection. She draws on approaches that help people name what matters, change unhelpful patterns, and build clearer communication.
Background and approach
The work is collaborative and goal oriented, with an emphasis on what will make life feel more manageable. Her background spans 18 years in many settings, including inpatient psychiatric care, community health, university counseling centers, hospice, and integrated behavioral health. That variety has shaped how she tailors care for different life stages and stressors.
She has experience helping people cope with trauma, substance concerns, end-of-life issues, and family stress. Tania lists several evidence-based approaches she uses, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and client-centered work. She also brings training in couple and family methods such as the Gottman Method and Integrated Behavioral approaches.
Sessions follow a straightforward process: identify goals, try practical strategies, and check what is or isn’t working. People who want flexible session options can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes by teaching practical exercises and behavioral steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaching skills to change them; it often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape interactions and can help people improve communication and emotional connection in close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss symptoms, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit the person's needs. Sessions are collaborative, and tactics are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction without travel. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide a way to get quick support, share updates, and continue work between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between appointments.
