Specializing in dual-culture, bilingual mental health counseling in Virginia and Maryland
A guiding light on your journey to healing from anxiety, stress, trauma and for your over all mental and emotional wellbeing.
Hi there!
my name is
Valeria D’Amato Caputi,
Licensed Professional Counselor
in Virginia and Maryland
MY APPROACH
As a therapist deeply committed to my clients' well-being, my primary goal is to provide a safe, empathetic space that fosters meaningful emotional exploration.
As a dual-cultural therapist, I understand the profound impact of early experiences and family values on shaping present behaviors and beliefs. I work collaboratively with clients to promote meaningful change in a supportive therapeutic environment.
Using a blend of traditional talk therapy, EMDR, and attachment-focused techniques, I offer a holistic and compassionate approach to healing, tailored to meet each client's unique needs.
Life is tough — but so are you! Yet, strength doesn’t mean facing your struggles and worries alone. If your mind is shrouded with anxiety, depression, trauma and a haze of negativity, it’s time to get the help and support you need. Life can be a storm, but we’ll be your lighthouse.
Personalized Care, Individual Counseling, and Online Therapy
Individualized therapy sessions provide a unique chance to develop the self-awareness necessary to take charge of your life once more. Utilizing our digital online therapy platform, our skilled online therapist will guide you as you begin your path to healing, setting personal and professional goals, and discovering the joy and purpose within you. Our aim is to empower you to fully embrace life's possibilities.

What does the research say? Yes. Online therapy is as effective as in-person therapy. When a therapist can relate to you with kindness, validate your feelings, and care for your well-being, there will be a positive and productive outcome from your therapy experience. The most important indicator is the relationship with your therapist, so it’s just a matter of finding the right online therapist for you.
Convenience, Confidentiality, and Accessibility:
Online counseling offers convenience and flexibility, with the ability to get the help you need from the comfort and privacy of your own home, office, car, or any other setting of your choice. It also eliminates the chance of running into people that you may know or having to cancel an appointment because you feel unwell and offers access to patients and communities in remote areas and those with disabilities.Yes, it does. You might hope to live a more fulfilled and joyful life, but we all know that life is not easy. Speaking to your online therapist can make your journey more bearable. Research shows that when a therapist can relate to you with kindness, validate your feelings, and care for your well-being, there will be a positive outcome from your therapy experience.

So, it is just a matter of finding the right online therapist for you.
Benefits of Online Therapy:
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many things have changed, including the way we provide help. Therapy has had to adjust to this new reality and, in my opinion, the results are encouraging. Online therapy has been used since the start of the pandemic with very positive results. Some clients have begun and finished online therapy during the pandemic without ever physically coming to our therapy office. This demonstrates that our relationship, built through online counseling, has brought productive results to clients who have found sessions to be effective and helpful. There is evidence that online therapy is as effective as in-person therapy.
Flexibility with Online Therapy:
Counseling online also presents many other advantages, including convenience and flexibility. These services are available to clients in the comfort and privacy of their own home, office, car, or any other remote location. Wherever you feel most comfortable and secure is where you can start the healing process with online therapy. Those who dread sitting in traffic or waiting in therapy offices can now feel at ease in a comfortable setting of their choice.
Online Therapy Might Be Healthier:
Online therapy also eliminates the chance of running into people that you may know while visiting your therapist. Clients can still attend their online counseling sessions in Virginia and Maryland, even when feeling sick. Meaning you do not have to miss a therapy appointment just because you do not want to risk someone else getting sick. Online therapy allows you to receive the mental health services that you need without putting the health of yourself and others at risk. Thus, making counseling online a great option for those who want to take extra precautions with their wellbeing and wellness.
Communication between a client and a therapist is often made easier through online therapy. Which in turn can ease relations and improve your overall experience in therapy. As previously stated building a good relationship with your therapist is an important factor in successful therapy.
Improving Access with Online Therapy in Virginia & Maryland
Possibly one of the greatest perks to online therapy is the access it offers for remote clients and people with disabilities. Some communities do not have access to therapists. Online counseling gives people in rural areas therapy options that they never had before. Additionally, people may have problems that need specialized assistance that they can’t find locally. Fortunately, online therapy can help those people find someone who specializes in their needs.
Is Online Therapy Covered By Insurance?
Before the start of the pandemic online therapy wasn’t as common practice as it is today. Since 2020 a lot of time and research has gone into making therapy more available. Online Therapy has been especially important in ensuring that during these unique times people can still prioritize their mental health. This means that most insurance providers are covering online therapy sessions. However, it is recommended to contact your insurance provider before our first session to confirm your out-of-network benefit.
