    About Velery

    Velery Fasano-Gilman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She helps people who feel stuck by focusing on clear goals and practical steps. Velery aims to make the first step feel less scary and more manageable for anyone seeking support.

    She has worked in counseling centers, shelters, and psychiatric hospitals, which shaped a calm, direct approach. In sessions she invites honest conversation and listens without judging. The room is meant to be a place to sort through upsetting thoughts and strong feelings.

    Velery uses a mix of methods to fit each person’s needs. She draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to practice living with difficult emotions.

    Practical skills are part of the work. She teaches breathing, grounding, and coping tools to manage anxiety and anger. She also helps people set small, achievable steps to rebuild confidence and improve relationships.

    Common concerns she addresses include stress, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and relationship and family struggles. Velery also supports people dealing with abandonment, caregiver strain, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, and social anxiety.

    Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She works with each person to make a plan they can use between sessions and adjusts the approach as needs change.

  2. Therapeutic approaches for online sessions

    Velery uses Motivational Interviewing to help people discover their own reasons for change and to build confidence for taking steps forward. This approach is helpful when someone feels stuck or uncertain about making changes.

    She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them and then choosing actions that match personal values. That work can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

    Finding the right approach is a shared process. Velery talks with each person about goals and preferences, then adapts methods so sessions feel useful and doable. She checks in as progress is made and shifts focus if something isn’t working.

    Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote work helps them attend more consistently and practice skills in real-life settings.
