Dr. Vallerie Hancock

Dr. Vallerie Hancock is a licensed professional counselor with 15 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and challenges tied to life changes. She also supports those coping with grief, addictions, intimacy questions, and issues related to self-esteem and career direction.

Dr. Hancock works with people who identify as women and with young adults, and she has experience offering support for first responders. Her approach aims to build self-love, clarify life purpose, and strengthen everyday coping skills. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings.

She blends several evidence-informed methods so therapy fits each person. That can mean noticing unhelpful thoughts, setting small goals, and learning acceptance-based ways to live by chosen values. Conversations are person-centered and paced to match what feels manageable.

Dr. Hancock draws on 15 years in clinical settings in Arizona as a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC. That background informs how she helps people process trauma, mood disorders, and anxiety-related concerns. She centers each person's strengths while working through difficult experiences.

People who meet with her can expect collaborative planning and clear short-term goals. Progress is tracked through everyday changes and skill-building rather than jargon. Those interested in finding a therapist fit are invited to begin the intake steps listed below.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting ruled by them and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and major life decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. That approach often helps with mood disorders, social anxiety, and relationship stress.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Dr. Hancock will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She adapts methods over time and checks in regularly to make sure the work stays relevant and practical.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are set by the practice. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people continue momentum between meetings and practice new skills in real-life settings, all while working with a licensed professional who helps tailor each session to the client's needs.
