Valerie Lighthall, LCSW-R

I work with adults and couples who are ready for meaningful, lasting change. Many of my clients are navigating trauma, grief, major life transitions, or career uncertainty, and they’re looking for a therapeutic experience that goes beyond the limitations of insurance‑driven care. My practice is designed for individuals who value privacy, flexibility, and a personalized approach to healing. I specialize in EMDR and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, offering both traditional weekly sessions and more immersive options—including extended sessions and EMDR intensives for clients who want to move through their work more efficiently and with greater focus. These formats are ideal for people with demanding schedules, those seeking faster progress, or anyone who feels stuck in long‑term patterns and wants a deeper, more concentrated therapeutic experience. Clients can meet with me via secure telehealth anywhere in New York State or in person at my Clinton, NY office (13323). Whether you’re rebuilding after loss, working through trauma, strengthening your relationship, or redefining your path forward, therapy with me is a collaborative, grounded space where you can explore, heal, and grow at your own pace.
