About Valentina
Valentina Gasparro is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 25 years of experience. She focuses on common and urgent concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and struggles with intimacy and relationships. Valentina also helps with parenting strain, sleeping problems, anger, addictive behaviors, and career or life-purpose questions.
Her style is personable and practical. Sessions use straightforward talk, mindfulness practices, and skills work to help people manage emotions and make different choices.
Background and approach
She emphasizes small, usable steps that fit into everyday life rather than long theory-heavy lectures. Valentina draws from several approaches to tailor care to each person. Attachment-based ideas guide how she thinks about relationship patterns.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Client-Centered methods help people clarify values and build motivation. She also uses techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) when they fit the goals. Her background includes long clinical experience with adults and a broad range of presenting concerns.
Valentina has worked with individual therapy, group formats, and family-related issues across settings. She speaks English and Italian and practices from Illinois as an LCPC. People who come to her can expect a collaborative process.
Valentina helps people notice what matters to them, practice new ways of responding, and track progress. She frames therapy as active work with room for compassion and real-world problem solving.

Online support
Attachment-informed care and online therapy options
Valentina commonly blends Attachment-Based Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Client-Centered methods. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people notice and change repetitive interaction habits that cause pain. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and learning practical ways to act toward those values, even when hard feelings show up. Client-Centered therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist listens closely and follows the person’s lead to build insight and motivation.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Valentina treats therapy as a collaboration and will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they try different tools and adjust methods so the work matches the person’s needs and pace.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deep work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter or longer exchanges, and make it possible to keep steady progress even when life is unpredictable.
