About Vanessa
Vanessa Glatt is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - licensed in California and Minnesota with nine years of clinical experience. She has provided counseling in a range of mental health settings and addresses concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, relationship challenges, parenting strain, sleep problems, and anger. Vanessa speaks English and practices from a practical, straightforward perspective.
Vanessa uses clear, everyday language in sessions. She helps people notice their thoughts and feelings in the moment and then tries simple strategies to reduce unnecessary distress. Mindfulness exercises and thinking skills are regular tools in her work. She also encourages attention to physical routines that affect mood and behavior.
Her approach is flexible rather than one-size-fits-all. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques, client-centered principles, EMDR, and mindfulness-based practices to match what a person needs. That might mean learning new ways to respond to anger, shifting habits that fuel anxiety, or processing painful memories.
Vanessa places value on mental health education and on helping people understand how their minds operate. Sessions include clear explanations about how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, and practical exercises to try between meetings. She frames therapy as collaborative work aimed at concrete day-to-day improvements.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Vanessa notes that costs vary with location and that sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How Vanessa uses evidence-based methods in remote sessions
Vanessa often combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values rather than getting stuck on unhelpful thoughts. CBT teaches practical skills to identify and change thought patterns and behaviors that keep stress and anger alive.She also uses client-centered techniques to keep sessions grounded in the person’s immediate concerns. That approach means the therapist listens closely and helps shape strategies that fit the client’s goals. Deciding which mix of ACT, CBT, or other methods is part of the early work and is done together with the client.
If you are considering remote sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find online work helps them fit therapy into busy days, reduces travel time, and makes it easier to schedule shorter check-ins during breaks. Different formats can also let someone choose lower-data options like audio-only when video is difficult. The therapist will discuss which approaches and session arrangements best fit your needs, goals, and daily routine.
