About Tania

Tania Valente is a licensed mental health professional with both a Texas psychologist license (LIC# 39799) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential (LMFT) in New Mexico (LIC# CMF0200391). She brings 18 years of clinical experience and an interpersonal, systemic, and supportive stance to her work, believing that healing often happens through compassionate relationships with others.

She collaborates with clients on their personal goals with empathy and an open mind, addressing a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, substance use, family stress, parenting challenges, trauma, and end of life care. Her background spans multiple care settings - inpatient psychiatric hospitalizations, non-profit and community health organizations, university counseling centers, integrated behavioral health clinics, hospice, and government programs - which informs a flexible approach to different life circumstances.

Tania has specialized training in couples and family therapies including Gottman methods, integrated behavioral approaches, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and solution-focused work. She also uses evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Written Exposure Treatment, EMDR, hypnotherapy, and Motivational Interviewing to tailor interventions to each person or family. She is fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish and welcomes the opportunity to incorporate those languages into sessions when helpful.

Therapeutic Approaches for Remote Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take committed action toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings - it is often useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotional patterns within relationships and helps partners or family members create stronger connections and resolve attachment-related distress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that supports reprocessing distressing memories and reducing their emotional intensity, often used for trauma and abuse.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tania works together with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors interventions with licensed professionals to find the best fit for the client and their circumstances.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate differing schedules, energy levels, and access needs. This range of options makes it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from home or while traveling, and fit therapy into busy lives while working toward meaningful change.
