Valérie Karsenti was born in Pantin in the department of Seine-Saint-Denis. She started at the age of 15 taking acting classes before joining the National School of Arts and Theater (ENSATT).

After leaving the ENSATT in 1988, she later portrayed important roles in television films such as Sniper and Édouard et ses filles. Since 1990, her career started being focused in theater, playing in Camus, Sartre et les autres, Colombe with Geneviève Page and Jean-Paul Roussillon, and Accalmies passagères, which received Molière Award for best comedy show in 1997. She later played in Un fil à la patte and Un petit jeu sans conséquence, 5 Molière Awards and best private show in 2003.
At that time, she appeared again on television and cinema, especially with Bertrand Blier and Lisa Azuelos. She continued playing in theatre dramas like Comme en 14, 3 Molière Awards and one for best public show in 2004, Le Prince travesti, Exit the King with Michel Bouquet, 2 Molière Awards and one for best private show in 2005, and Adultères with Pascale Arbillot.
