About Vanessa

Vanessa Blanchette is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin. She brings a direct, calm presence to sessions and creates a clear space for people to talk about stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, and relationship issues. She emphasizes straightforward listening and steady support so parents can tackle everyday worries without feeling judged.

Vanessa has worked in mental health for ten years, including roles in crisis counseling and community organizations.

Background and approach

She has served as an outpatient counselor and a clinical director in Green Bay, Wisconsin. That background informs a practical way of working with common life challenges like job stress, sleeping problems, and changes at home. In sessions she draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and tailors her approach to each person’s needs.

Conversations focus on real problems and small, usable steps people can try between meetings. She also uses empathy and sometimes gentle humor to make hard topics easier to face. Vanessa offers multiple session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Sessions are delivered in English and she accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions are provided through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability.

Vanessa aims to help people find manageable ways forward during stressful periods.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Vanessa uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. This method is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and stress because it focuses on concrete changes a person can make.

She also integrates mindfulness-based practices to help people stay present and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness exercises are taught in simple, practical ways that can help with anger, rumination, and overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Vanessa will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and tailor a blend of techniques together. She aims for a collaborative process so people feel involved in choosing what to try next.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy family routines. These options let people connect from home, keep regular contact between meetings, and choose the format that feels most comfortable.
