Valerie Graf

Valerie Graf

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I am a licensed clinical social worker with a master’s degree in education, and I’ve been practicing for 12 years. My experience spans a wide range of communities and needs, including individuals with developmental disabilities, people navigating substance use challenges, and clients from culturally diverse backgrounds.

My clinical foundation is rooted in behavior modification and cognitive behavioral therapy, and I use these approaches to help clients understand patterns, build new skills, and create meaningful change.

I like to begin by learning about each client’s hopes, dreams, and vision for their life. I believe that real transformation starts with discovering a sense of happiness and alignment within yourself—once that inner foundation is in place, everything else begins to come together.

Real support for real life, wherever you are in your journey.

As an LCSW with more than a decade of experience, I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, and life's inevitable turning points. Outside the office, my life is full with my small children and energetic puppy. I share that because I understand, firsthand, how full and unpredictable life can feel, and how hard it can be to carve out space just for you. That's exactly what our time together is for.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Rensselaer

Finding a therapist in Rensselaer, NY starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider the concerns you want to address — whether that's anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or something else — and look for a licensed provider with experience in that area. Reviewing a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match before your first session.

Rensselaer is a smaller city, so your options for in-person care may be more limited than in nearby Albany or Troy. Virtual sessions can expand your choices significantly, connecting you with licensed providers across New York State who accept your insurance. On Headway, you can browse providers offering both in-person and virtual appointments across the Capital Region.

Therapy in New York can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. You can confirm your specific coverage on Headway to see what's available in your area.
