About Vanessa
Vanessa Glatt is an LPCC with nine years of clinical experience working in mental health. She approaches people with warmth and a nonjudgmental manner. Vanessa focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck and aims to make mental health less stigmatized.
She uses simple, practical strategies in sessions. That can mean mindfulness practices to help calm the mind, cognitive tools to shift unhelpful thinking, or pacing work to manage stress and burnout.
Background and approach
Vanessa encourages attention to physical routines too, because body and mind often affect each other. Vanessa describes her style as flexible and person-centered. She looks for techniques that fit the individual rather than forcing a single method.
Clients can expect a mix of talking, skills practice, and short exercises to try between sessions. When trauma or painful memories are present, she may use processing approaches alongside grounding and stabilization skills. The work aims to reduce needless suffering while also acknowledging the meaning in difficult experiences.
Vanessa emphasizes small, doable steps that build safety and confidence. The goal of her work is to help people reconnect with a more centered version of themselves. She frames clients as the expert on their lives and partners with them to set goals and track progress.
Vanessa practices in California and offers sessions in English.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values. It uses simple exercises to notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. It often includes short skills practice between sessions and is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger management.
Mindfulness-based methods teach attention and grounding exercises to reduce reactivity and build calm. These practices are often short and easy to use during busy days or before sleep.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Vanessa collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and comfort level. She adjusts techniques over time based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when scheduling is tight. These options offer flexibility so people can fit therapy into their routine.
