About Velery
Velery Fasano-Gilman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, low mood, and feelings of isolation. Her work also covers relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and anger.
She aims to make the first step feel achievable for people who are unsure where to begin. Velery has worked in a range of settings, including counseling centers, shelters, and psychiatric hospitals.
How Velery works
Those experiences shaped a practical style that leans toward clear skills and steady support. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and elements of the Gottman Method to match the need at hand. In sessions she builds an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about plainly.
She helps people name what they are facing and then chooses tools that fit the person and the problem. That can mean learning strategies to manage strong emotions, rehearsing different ways to communicate, or changing unhelpful thought patterns. Velery works with common life problems like caregiver stress, abandonment worries, guilt and shame, impulsivity, low self-love, and social anxiety.
She also helps people navigating mood disorders, coping with life changes, and repairing strained connections. Her style aims to be steady, straightforward, and collaborative. Sessions focus on practical next steps as well as listening.
Velery invites people to take a small first step and then figure out what comes next together.

Online support options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like low mood and social anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication when strong feelings become overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Velery will work collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. She often blends techniques from different approaches and checks in with the person to adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins or shorter updates between longer appointments. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy day and keep momentum between meetings.
