About Velery

Velery Fasano-Gilman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, low mood, anger, and self-esteem.

Background and approach

Velery aims to make the first step into therapy as simple as possible for people who are nervous or unsure. She creates a calm setting where clients can talk openly without judgment.

Her background includes work in counseling centers, shelters, and psychiatric hospitals. Those experiences shaped a practical, down-to-earth approach to care.

Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented, with simple skills people can try between meetings. Velery blends several methods to meet each person's needs.

She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used for managing intense emotions and impulsivity.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify values and take meaningful steps, and on Client-Centered Therapy to build a trusting working relationship. The Gottman Method is part of her approach when relationship communication and connection are a focus.

Velery works in English and provides online care through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Costs vary by location and session type and are handled through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

How chosen approaches work online

Velery commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and the Gottman Method into online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and taking small actions that match what matters to you. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes. The Gottman Method centers on communication skills and rebuilding connection when relationship patterns cause stress or repeated conflict. It offers practical exercises for improving how people talk and listen to one another.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will talk with each client about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Sessions often mix practical skill-building with supportive conversation so clients can test what works and adjust as they go.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people work face-to-face without travel. Phone sessions or live chat can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
