(NOTE: Right now I am only accepting new clients that either can schedule during day time hours OR are text only clients)
My name is Valerie Glass. I have worked as a therapist in a variety of settings for nearly 20 years. I currently hold a doctorate in marriage and family therapy and also work teaching students who are studying to become therapists. I have extensive experience working with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship issues, and family issues. In addition, I specialize in LGBTQ clients and women's issues.
Clients come to therapy for many different reasons. Some clients need a space to process life changes and challenges. Other clients seek direction and accountability. I meet clients where they are and provide a non-judgmental and collaborative space. I think of therapy as a journey to healing and becoming better - whatever that means to the individual. My role is to really understand where clients are coming from and to support their desired direction.
I am quite humbled by my role as a therapist and the vulnerabilities I see and experience as part of this role. I project an open and honest atmosphere and respect the challenges brought to the space.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Dr Glass is the most wonderful therapist! She has been supportive and insightful through good times and bad. I have experienced so much personal growth through my work with her. I am so grateful!
Dr. Glass is engaging, insightful, fun to talk to and great to work with. Responses are timely, thoughtful, and clearly invested with a real care for my growth. The messaging function is super helpful for journaling my thoughts throughout the week so that we have a lot to discuss in sessions, which really enhances the work we’re doing. I hit the therapist jack-pot!

Dr Glass has helped me so much - I know she is always there for me to work through my issues, interpersonal relationships, life changes, and everything in between. I am so happy to have her in my support system.
Dr. Glass is the third therapist/counselor type person I have seen and she is by far the most compassionate. She makes me feel validated and respected and supported. She’s such a great listener and has provided a variety of tools for me as well as general knowledge on different treatment methods.
Dr. Glass's advice has really helped me deal with a very difficult time I've had with finding boundaries for parenting my young adult son.
Dr. Glass helped me more than I can even describe. When we first started our sessions I was in a very difficult place in my life. She allowed me to talk through all of my issues and gave me non-judgmental and constructive feedback that allowed me to have a more positive and motivated outlook on my situations. While my "crisis" may be over our sessions are a wonderful outlet for the more routine situations and continues to give me a safe place to vent my concerns/frustrations. Thank you!
Dr. Glass is smart, kind, insightful, and easy to talk to. Working with her has been incredibly helpful for me and I would recommend her to anyone.
I just began working with Dr. Glass but I already feel at ease with her and have enjoyed her feedback and our discussions. I look forward to continuing to work with her in the future.
Dr. Glass is a wonderful listener. She provides great insight and helpful tips. I really appreciate her follow up. She is very timely! I would recommend Dr. Glass for anyone, looking to better themselves!
Valerie has been a great therapist so far. She asks good questions, provides some really helpful ideas for how to address particular issues, and she seems to really enjoy our conversations. She checks in if she hasn’t heard from me and always makes me feel supported!
Dr. Glass so far has been extremely responsive and helpful! Even though I was a little skeptical at first with the concept, I am loving BetterHelp and working with Dr. Glass. It is counseling on my time that works with my schedule.
Dr. Glass responds in a timely manner and is very considerate, caring and compassionate. She pays attention to detail, she read's "between the lines" and understands what I'm "not" saying. I would highly recommend Dr. Glass to anyone going thru a hard time or just needing someone to talk to.
Valerie is amazing! I feel like she really cares about what I care about and is invested in me. She has a phenomenal memory and asks helpful questions. She's great at both being supportive and challenging me when I need a bit of a push. I give her the highest praise possible!
