About Vanna
Vanna Cassimere is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She brings ten years of clinical experience to short-term and ongoing concerns, and she speaks English for all sessions. She helps people facing mood disorders such as bipolar disorder and depression.
She also supports those adjusting to major life changes, including pregnancy and childbirth or postpartum challenges. Vanna often addresses feelings of isolation, difficulties with impulse control, and questions about life purpose.
Background and approach
In sessions she aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through. Conversations are direct and practical, with attention to what feels most urgent for the person in front of her. She works collaboratively to set small, achievable goals and to track progress over time.
Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing to break down unhelpful thought patterns and build motivation for change. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at past experiences that influence current feelings, and solution-focused methods to identify concrete next steps.
Vanna offers help for a wide range of concerns, including attachment issues, trauma reactions, coping after disasters, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, and challenges common to young adults and women. She supports people who want clearer coping strategies and more steady mood management.
Approach-driven online therapy for anxiety and mood
Vanna uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is often used for anxiety, stress, and depression because it focuses on practical skills and clear steps. Motivational interviewing is another approach she uses to strengthen a person's own reasons for change and to build readiness when someone feels stuck.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try strategies in early sessions, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. This collaborative process helps make sure the work fits the person's life and needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep momentum between sessions.
