01About Vallerie
Dr. Vallerie Hancock helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and struggles with self-esteem. She also supports clients facing grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, and the ups and downs of life changes.
Her focus includes mood concerns such as bipolar disorder and seasonal affective disorder, along with issues around intimacy, career questions, and questions of life purpose. She bases her work on practical, evidence-informed methods. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented.
Background and approach
Clients can expect help identifying patterns, trying small experiments, and building coping skills they can use between sessions. With fifteen years of experience, Dr. Hancock practices as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - in Arizona.
That background shapes a steady, experienced approach to common and complex problems. She draws on multiple methods to match what an individual needs rather than using a single fixed style. Her work pays attention to identity and social pressures, including LGBT concerns and women's issues.
She also offers focused support for people connected to first responder work and for those recovering from sexual assault, domestic violence, or other traumatic events. Sessions aim to help people find clearer values, increase self-compassion, and make practical changes. Her style is direct but warm, helping people set manageable goals and notice small shifts that add up over time.

04Online support
Approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where clarity about what matters helps guide change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing alternatives through practical exercises. It often helps with anxiety, mood concerns, and social fears by teaching concrete skills.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. They adjust the plan over time based on what actually helps and what feels manageable for the client.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are good for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a hands-free option is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or to keep a brief, focused exchange during a busy day. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
