About Tania

Tania Valente is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Texas with 18 years of clinical experience. She meets people where they are and focuses on clear goals people bring to therapy. She listens with empathy and works alongside clients to find practical ways forward.

Her approach draws on interpersonal and systemic ideas. She believes change often happens through supportive relationships and practical shifts in daily life. Sessions tend to focus on what matters most to the client and on small, doable steps that reduce distress.

Background and approach

Valente has worked in many settings including inpatient psychiatric hospitals, community health centers, university counseling, integrated behavioral health, hospice, and government programs. That variety has given her experience with depression, anxiety, substance concerns, trauma and grief, parenting and family stressors, and end-of-life issues.

She uses several well-known therapy approaches such as cognitive behavioral methods, emotionally-focused work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. Those approaches are used to help people manage symptoms, process difficult memories, and improve relationships. Tania speaks English and Portuguese and also has experience working in Spanish.

She aims to create a warm, respectful space where practical steps and compassion guide the work together.

Online support

Therapy approaches that work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take small steps toward a meaningful life. It blends practical experiments with attention to difficult thoughts and feelings to reduce avoidance and increase committed action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through skills and practice. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday stressors. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity by combining focused recall with bilateral stimulation; it is often used when trauma or painful memories are central concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a client's needs, goals, and comfort level. That might mean blending ACT and CBT for skills and values work or adding EMDR when trauma processing fits the goals.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are, phone sessions fit times when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and text-based messaging helps maintain momentum between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and travel commitments.
