About Valri

Valri Bromfield is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and self-esteem struggles. She also supports those facing caregiver stress, workplace pressure, panic attacks, and identity-related issues.

Background and approach

Valri works with individuals and couples and welcomes clients who identify as LGBT. Valri draws on many evidence-informed approaches to fit each person's needs.

She uses Gottman Method ideas for relationship work and mixes in cognitive strategies and acceptance-based tools for anxiety and mood concerns. Sessions are conversational and practical, with clear steps to try between meetings.

Her training includes a Master of Arts and licenses as LMHC and LPC-MHSP. She has sixteen years of professional experience and has worked in university counseling centers early in her career.

That background influences a straightforward, educational style in sessions. Valri aims to make therapy feel understandable and manageable.

She listens for what matters most, then helps set realistic goals and experiments. People leave sessions with specific skills for communication, emotion management, and decision-making.

Therapy with Valri often focuses on small, steady changes rather than quick fixes. She invites curiosity and collaboration, so clients help shape the plan.

Practical tools, clear feedback, and an emphasis on building healthier patterns guide the work together.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Valri commonly uses the Gottman Method for relationship work, which focuses on improving communication, reducing negative cycles, and building connection through practical exercises couples can practice between meetings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than getting stuck in avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns shape current relationships and helps people shift toward more supported ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Valri will collaborate with each client to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and personal style. That means trying tools together, adjusting the plan, and choosing what feels most useful for day-to-day life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work through emotion and body language in real time, while phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is low or being on camera isn't needed. Live chat and texting make shorter check-ins and skill practice easy to fit around work or caregiving. These options aim to offer flexibility so therapy can work within a client's schedule and comfort level.
