Valeria Cantore

I am an experienced Florida Licensed Counselor with over 8 years of expertise serving a diverse clientele. My focus areas include anxiety, loss/grief, self-esteem and motivation challenges, life transitions, and career and academic issues.

Moreover, my proficiency in both Spanish and English enables me to support the Hispanic community effectively.

My approach is primarily person-centered, allowing me to develop a collaborative treatment plan within a safe environment. I employ science-based therapy techniques, such as Solution-Focused, Cognitive and Dialectical Behavioral, and Motivational Interviewing, to achieve optimal client outcomes. With a career/vocational rehabilitation background, I am dedicated to assisting individuals in navigating life transitions by recognizing their strengths and developing new skills for success.

Clients can expect to understand their life challenges better and develop effective coping strategies. They will benefit from a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where they can explore their thoughts and emotions. Additionally, clients will work with me to set personalized treatment goals and create a plan to achieve them. Importantly, clients can expect to leave each session feeling empowered, with improved self-awareness, and equipped with practical skills to navigate life's challenges.
