Valentina Gasparro, LCPC

Valentina Gasparro is an IL LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 25 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.

She uses straightforward, pragmatic methods in sessions. Valentina blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, Client-Centered methods, and Emotionally-Focused approaches. She incorporates mindfulness and solution-focused techniques and brings trauma-informed practices when needed.

In a typical session she helps people notice patterns that increase frustration and anger. She teaches simple skills to reduce reactivity, manage difficult emotions, and improve communication. Practical exercises, breathing and grounding practices, and reflective conversation are common tools she uses.

Valentina also supports people through big life transitions and complex grief. She pays attention to attachment and relational patterns that affect how someone handles anger and intimacy concerns. Work may include tracking triggers, practicing new responses, and addressing underlying shame or guilt.

She offers therapy in English and Italian and accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
