Dr. Valerie Glass, LMFT

Dr. Valerie Glass is a licensed marriage and family therapist with two decades of experience. She focuses on relationships, stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and a range of intimacy and sexual health concerns. She also supports people navigating LGBTQ issues, gender dysphoria, and women’s concerns.

She holds a doctorate in marriage and family therapy and also teaches students training to become therapists. Her work spans clinical settings and education, which shapes how she explains ideas and shares tools.

In sessions she aims to meet people where they are. She listens for what feels most important and helps clients set clear goals. Some people come to process grief or life transitions. Others want practical steps for sleep, eating, or managing anger.

Her approach blends client-centered, narrative, and solution-focused methods. That means she pays close attention to each person’s story, helps reframe harmful patterns, and focuses on small, doable changes that move life forward. Sessions are collaborative and goal-minded.

Dr. Glass works with people on a wide range of concerns including parenting stress, career questions, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics. She describes therapy as a journey and aims to support each person’s chosen direction.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and building a trusting therapeutic relationship. It helps when people need a space to be heard and to clarify what matters to them. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and finds ways to reframe unhelpful narratives so choices feel more possible. It can be useful for identity issues, family of origin concerns, and gender or sexuality topics. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on concrete steps and small changes that move someone toward their goals, which is helpful for stress, sleep or career-related problems.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. The process is flexible and may shift as goals evolve.

The therapist’s biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm what options are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so clients can focus on practical progress. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively across distance while tailoring pacing and tasks to what each person finds most useful.
