Velery Fasano-Gilman, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Velery

Velery Fasano-Gilman is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of hands-on experience. She has supported people facing stress, anxiety, low mood, anger, and self-esteem struggles. Her background includes work in counseling centers, shelters, and psychiatric hospitals.

She aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable and respectful of the courage it takes. Velery focuses on practical, everyday changes that can ease tough emotions. She listens without judgment and helps clients put small tools into practice.

Background and approach

Those tools come from therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, plus approaches that emphasize values and present-moment awareness. Sessions often include talking through problems, learning skills to manage strong feelings, and trying different actions to reach personal goals. She also draws on relationship-informed methods to address communication and family concerns.

The work is collaborative and paced to fit each person’s needs. People seek her help for grief, trauma and abuse, caregiver stress, isolation, and mood concerns, among other issues. She also addresses specific themes such as abandonment, guilt and shame, and social anxiety.

Velery keeps the room practical and focused on what to try between sessions. Her practice offers several ways to connect so therapy can fit a busy life. She encourages newcomers to take the first step and will guide them through the initial matching and scheduling process.

How her approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It emphasizes noticing thoughts without getting stuck and can help with anxiety, low mood, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. It is practical and often used for anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. The Gottman Method brings attention to communication patterns and problem-solving in relationships and can help people improve how they connect and talk through disagreements.

Choosing the right approach is a process she undertakes with each person. The therapist listens to current concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggests methods to try. They check in together about what works and adjust the plan as needed, keeping the work collaborative and goal-focused.

Online therapy offers several flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options let people fit sessions around work, caregiving, and school. The variety also makes it easier to use skills between sessions and stay connected when life gets busy.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
