About Valerie
Dr. Valerie Zeiger is an Alabama licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, compassion fatigue, and addiction.
She works in straightforward, practical ways and aims to help people take the first step toward a more meaningful life. Dr. Zeiger believes clients are the experts on their own story.
She helps people identify strengths and use them to move past what holds them back.
Background and approach
Conversations are aimed at uncovering patterns and perceptions that get in the way of everyday functioning and wellbeing. Her approach mixes existential ideas with skills-based methods. That means she pays attention to life meaning, choice, and values while also teaching simple self-regulation tools.
Clients learn concrete ways to interrupt the body’s stress response and return to a calmer state. She draws on several clinical methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused work, client-centered listening, and cognitive behavioral strategies. Sessions emphasize collaboration and practical steps people can try between meetings.
People who reach out can expect a steady, supportive guide who balances reflection about life direction with hands-on coping skills. Dr. Zeiger aims to tailor the work to each person’s goals and daily realities.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like
Dr. Zeiger commonly combines Existential Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her online practice. Existential Therapy focuses on questions of meaning, personal choice, and how life events shape direction, helping people facing emptiness, grief, and major life transitions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and committing to actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and avoidance patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and daily life. That collaborative planning helps set clear steps and practical strategies to try between sessions.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video calls allow deeper conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can fit into a break at work or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or getting short-term support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into a busy schedule.
