About Viergelie

Viergelie Liberal is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida who focuses on parenting and family-related concerns. She writes plainly and listens closely. Her style is warm, interactive, and built around helping people take practical steps when life feels hard.

Viergelie draws on nine years of clinical experience to guide conversations and make goals clearer. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors.

Background and approach

She also brings attachment-based ideas to help people understand how early relationships shape present patterns. Sessions are conversational and respectful. Viergelie aims to create space for parents and adults to talk through stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and relationship struggles.

She pays attention to what feels most urgent and works at a pace that fits each person. Her approach includes elements of mindfulness to build present-moment awareness and motivational interviewing to support change when people feel stuck. These methods are used together rather than as separate steps, so each meeting can be tailored to what a person needs most that day.

Viergelie emphasizes practical next steps between sessions. She offers straightforward ideas to try at home, then checks in about how they worked. The focus is on small, sustainable shifts that reduce stress and improve daily functioning.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they connect, respond under stress, and can build more supported interactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches practical techniques to manage anxiety, stress, and mood. Client-Centered Therapy centers on respectful listening and collaboration, giving people space to set their own goals and feel heard.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. That choice is revisited over time so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible options. These formats make it easier to fit meetings into busy family schedules and to check in between appointments. Many people find that the variety of online options helps them keep progress moving forward even when life is unpredictable.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
