Getting to know Valerie Lloyd
Hi there, I'm Valerie!
Hello, I am Valerie Lloyd, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master’s in Counseling from National University. I believe in meeting my clients right where they are in their journey. Together, we walk side by side, aiming to enhance your quality of life. I see life as a beautiful journey, and I am committed to guiding individuals by introducing new perspectives and coping mechanisms tailored to their unique experiences.
My approach
I blend person-centered therapy and solution-focused techniques to create a supportive and empowering space for my clients. Together, we explore your experiences and strengths, focusing on practical strategies to achieve your goals and create positive change. My goal is to guide you toward a more fulfilling and meaningful life journey.
My focus
I have extensive experience aiding individuals during psychiatric crises, including self-harm, suicidality, and psychosis. I've transitioned to telehealth to provide support for various challenges such as job stress, chronic illness, life coaching, and life transitions. Moreover, I specialize in working with adolescents, offering a safe space for them to acquire new tools for navigating life’s challenges with confidence and ease.
My communication style
I prioritize fostering a communication style that ensures my clients feel deeply heard, understood, and comfortable. It’s important to me that our sessions feel like working with a therapist who is grounded, offering a sense of stability and support that helps to ground you as well.
My journey to mental healthcare
“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” — Mark Twain. My journey toward becoming a therapist began in crisis homes, where I discovered my passion for improving people’s lives. I’ve learned that even small shifts in perspective can profoundly enhance one’s sense of purpose and belonging.
