Valerie Holcomb, LPC

Valerie Holcomb is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 18 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, mood differences like bipolar and depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, sleep struggles, anger, self-esteem, caregiving stress, and codependency.

She keeps sessions straightforward and interactive. Conversations focus on what is happening now, what patterns keep repeating, and concrete steps to change behavior. Valerie uses clear tools from cognitive-behavioral and dialectical approaches alongside acceptance-focused and attachment-informed ideas. She aims to help people notice unhelpful habits and try different ways of responding.

Her background includes work in inpatient hospitals, substance use treatment settings, community mental health, schools, wilderness camps, and correctional facilities. That range shaped a practical style that adapts to how motivated someone is and how much resistance shows up. She has also led groups and done outreach with veteran and mental health advocacy programs.

In sessions she listens, reflects, and offers skills to reduce distress and improve communication. She emphasizes building a working relationship first and setting a pace that supports growing independence. For people who have lived through trauma or chronic stress, she combines behavioral skills, mindfulness, and processing strategies to address both coping and long-term patterns.
