Hi folks!
I am licensed in Georgia with 14 years of professional work experience. I am excited to say that in addition to my work at CHOA, I am available for individual counseling on Tuesdays and Wednesdays evenings. It's first come, first served.
I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, relationship issues, & trauma and abuse. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

About online counseling

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.

Ms Valerie is the best therapist I’ve ever had. I can’t imagine my life moving forward without talking to her. She has helped me tremendously
Valerie Cleveland is a wonderful therapist. Very punctual, kind and supportive. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for help.
Thank you Valerie for helping me understand my approach to relationships. Our sessions were very beneficial. And I won't ever forget the lessons learned here.
I feel like Valerie listens without judging and genuinely cares about me. She offers alternatives and asks questions that help me look at things in different ways.
Love my therapist.. just haven't been able to stay on top of it as I should due to sickness.
Valerie is better then nearly all the therapists I’ve seen over the years. She’s the best.
She’s truly helping me with my guilt and anxiety issues. I can tell she takes her job seriously and knows how to make it fun at the same time. Thank you!
