About Tania

Tania Valente is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Texas who helps people facing depression, anxiety, relationship strain, and other life stresses. She speaks English and Portuguese and aims to build a warm, respectful space where clients can talk about what matters most to them.

Tania approaches therapy from an interpersonal and systemic viewpoint. She focuses on how relationships and life roles affect feelings and behavior, and she works with clients to identify small, practical changes that can make life feel more manageable. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs.

With 18 years of experience across inpatient, community, university, hospice, and integrated care settings, she has supported people through grief, addiction, trauma, parenting challenges, and career stress. That breadth gives her a wide view of how symptoms show up in daily life and in close relationships.

Her work draws on therapies that help people clarify values, change unhelpful thinking, and process painful memories. In conversation she aims to combine clear strategies with compassionate listening so clients leave with something concrete to try between sessions.

People who reach out can expect straightforward language and a calm, steady presence. If you are thinking about therapy for depression, relationship concerns, parenting strain, or coping with life changes, she will work with you to set goals and find methods that fit your situation.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take small actions that align with what matters to them, which can reduce stuckness and give a sense of direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful cycles, often with exercises to try between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on how emotions shape relationships and helps people notice and change interaction patterns that cause pain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort. Early sessions often focus on what feels most pressing and then adapt as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins that are shorter or more frequent when useful. Licensed professionals can guide practical homework, use guided exercises during a session, and help people try new skills in everyday life while reviewing how those changes go at follow-up.
