Approaches That Guide Online Care
Vanessa draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client's priorities shape each session. This approach emphasizes empathy and listening, and it can be especially helpful for people seeking support through life transitions, relationship concerns, or coping with emotional distress.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress and patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.
Narrative Therapy is another option Vanessa may offer; it helps clients separate themselves from their problems by reexamining the stories they tell about their lives. This can be useful for clients working on identity, grief, or making meaning after difficult experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Vanessa works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. She tailors interventions and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit care into busy schedules, manage transportation limits, and maintain consistent contact with licensed professionals when needed.
