About Tania
Tania Valente is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Texas who helps people who are dealing with low self esteem, anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, and life transitions. She speaks English and Portuguese and aims to create a calm, supportive space where people can talk through what matters to them. Her style is warm and interpersonal, focused on understanding each person's goals and values.
With 18 years of clinical experience, she has worked in many settings including hospitals, community health centers, university counseling, hospice, and integrated care. That range means she is comfortable helping people with things like depression, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, grief, sleep problems, and parenting strain. She also supports people facing career stress, compassion fatigue, bipolar disorder, and ADHD-related challenges.
Her approach blends talking therapy with practical exercises. She uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and EMDR are part of her repertoire for working with relationship patterns and trauma.
Sessions focus on what the person wants to change. Conversations are collaborative and down-to-earth, and may include homework or short practices to try between visits. Tania aims to help people build more self-compassion and clearer steps forward.
People interested in starting are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The therapist will then work with each person to set goals and plan follow-up appointments.
