Valerie Rasicci , LCSW

Valerie Rasicci is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Montana with eight years of professional experience supporting adults through periods of stress, anxiety, depression, and life transition. She uses her social work training to offer compassionate, practical guidance for people coping with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, and the challenges that arise in blended families. Her work focuses on helping individuals build confidence, address control issues, and move through guilt or shame toward healthier self-regard.

Valerie provides individual therapy that centers on real-life problem solving and emotional healing, whether someone is trying to recover from past sexual assault or abuse, improve communication within a family, or manage symptoms of post-traumatic stress. She brings attention to the specific needs of women and young adults while also addressing sexuality, forgiveness, and the complex dynamics that affect blended households. Her approach is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques delivered with practical support and empathy.

For adults seeking a space to explore difficult experiences or to find strategies for everyday coping, Valerie offers goal-oriented sessions aimed at fostering resilience and personal growth. Her Montana license and LCSW credential reflect training in assessment, treatment planning, and outpatient psychotherapy.

Valerie emphasizes skills-based strategies that help people manage anxiety and stress through practical coping tools, breathing and grounding practices, and behavior-focused exercises that support day-to-day functioning. These approaches are useful for clients needing relief from overwhelming worry and for building resilience during life transitions.
