About Viergelie
She emphasizes working together to identify what matters most to each person. Conversations explore everyday patterns - how thoughts, habits, and relationships affect mood and choices. Viergelie uses talk and simple tools so people can try new ways of handling anger, low self-esteem, or life transitions.
Her background includes nine years of clinical experience and practice as a licensed master social worker, LMSW, and a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW. That experience has involved a range of concerns from caregiving stress and cancer-related issues to fertility and body image struggles. She also supports people dealing with HIV/AIDS, hoarding, blended family tensions, and compassion fatigue.
Viergelie draws on several therapy approaches to match each person's needs. She integrates attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to address practical goals. Sessions focus on clear, doable strategies and building strengths.
She encourages people to come as they are and to take small steps toward change. The work is collaborative and paced to each person's readiness. Viergelie aims to create a calm, straightforward space where clients can talk things through and try new solutions.

Approaches that translate to online care
Attachment-based approaches focus on how early relationships shape current patterns. In sessions this looks like talking about how connection and trust show up now, and trying new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more balanced thinking; it’s useful for anxiety, stress, and mood shifts and includes specific exercises to practice between sessions. Mindfulness therapy teaches basic attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with anger, stress, and coping with health challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different techniques together. That collaboration helps choose which methods to emphasize and adjusts pacing to what feels right for you.
Confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time so people can schedule around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can use talk, structured exercises, and mindfulness practices effectively in virtual appointments, with the same focus on practical tools and daily strategies.
