About Valentina
Valentina Gasparro is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma, and challenges like addiction and depression. She works with issues around intimacy, parenting, sleep, anger, self-esteem, career changes, and ADHD. Valentina also supports people coping with life transitions, compassion fatigue, and questions about life purpose.
She brings 25 years of experience to her sessions and speaks English and Italian.
Background and approach
Her style is warm and practical. She aims to help people notice what matters to them, build daily habits that reflect those values, and manage overwhelming feelings in manageable steps. Valentina uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person.
She leans on existential ideas about meaning and choice, acceptance and commitment techniques for handling painful thoughts and emotions, and attachment-informed work for relationship struggles. She also draws on client-centered listening and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when useful.
In a meeting with her, clients can expect focused conversation, simple tools to try between sessions, and space to make sense of painful events. She emphasizes mindfulness, breathing and grounding practices, and short behavioral steps that fit everyday life. Valentina practices from Illinois and accepts international clients.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Session arrangements use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a session based on the therapist's availability.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Existential Therapy helps people look at meaning, choice, and responsibility in life. It can be useful when someone is feeling lost, stuck, or unsure about purpose and direction. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches skills to notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while taking actions that match personal values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns, and it can help with intimacy, trust, and closeness issues.Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will discuss needs, goals, and preferences and recommend ideas to try. Sessions may blend elements from different approaches so the work fits the person's life and concerns.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people work face to face when schedules allow; phone calls need less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or text messaging can support shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving, or ongoing encouragement between sessions. These formats aim to make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into daily routines.
