Valerie Holcomb, LPC

Valerie Holcomb is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 18 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, relationship and family struggles, grief, sleeping problems, anger, low self-esteem, and challenges that come with life changes.

Her approach is direct and conversational. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical skills. Valerie blends evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior ideas with attachment-based and client-centered ways of working. She listens and shapes sessions around what a person reports is most pressing.

Valerie has worked in many settings, including inpatient hospitals, substance use treatment programs, community mental health clinics, schools, wilderness challenge camps, and correctional facilities. That range informs how she helps people manage everyday problems and crisis points. She has experience in both individual and group formats and has supported people affected by physical trauma and emotional abuse.

Outside the clinic she contributes many volunteer hours to veteran-focused groups and mental health advocacy work with organizations like NAMI and local behavioral health councils. That community involvement complements her clinical work and keeps her connected to broader support efforts.

In sessions, clients can expect practical skill-building, straightforward discussion of patterns, and a focus on steps they can use between meetings. The goal is to reduce interfering symptoms and increase the client’s ability to handle stressors, not to promise a specific outcome.
