About Viergelie
She uses practical, down-to-earth methods in sessions. Viergelie relies on approaches that help people understand their patterns, build clearer communication, and try small changes that make daily life easier. Conversations are respectful and collaborative, with attention to each person’s pace and priorities.
Her background as a social worker informs how she sees problems like caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and illness-related worries. She also supports people facing parenting challenges, blended family issues, fertility and body-image concerns, and difficult emotions like guilt or anger. In cases involving cancer, HIV/AIDS, or caregiving strain she focuses on coping strategies and emotional support rather than medical advice.
Viergelie combines tools from attachment-based work, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That mix is used to help clients set realistic goals, practice new ways of relating, and notice unhelpful thoughts or habits.
If someone wants to begin, the first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online care
Viergelie uses attachment-based work to help people understand how early relationships shape current reactions. This approach looks at patterns in relationships and supports trying new ways of connecting that feel safer and more reliable.She also uses client-centered therapy, which centers the conversation on the person in front of her. That means active listening, empathic responses, and following the client’s priorities to set goals together. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is part of her toolkit as well, offering clear exercises to spot unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors to reduce anxiety or stress.
Finding the right blend of methods is part of the process. Viergelie works collaboratively to choose techniques that match a client’s goals, comfort level, and everyday routine. She checks in often to see what helps and adjusts the approach as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins between in-person visits. They can also let someone connect from a quieter place, use less bandwidth with a phone call, or avoid being on camera when that feels better.
