About Vanessa

Vanessa Glatt is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) with nine years of clinical experience in California. She has worked with people facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, substance addiction, and childhood trauma. Vanessa aims to meet people where they are and help them reconnect with a steadier sense of self.

Her style is warm and non-judgmental. She uses mindfulness and practical thought skills to help reduce distress. Sessions often include simple practices and ideas that can be tried between meetings.

Background and approach

Vanessa draws on several approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs. Cognitive behavioral work helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is offered for processing trauma when appropriate.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered techniques are also part of her toolkit. She pays attention to the connection between body and mind and encourages clients to notice how daily habits affect mood and energy. Parents may find her approach useful for family and parenting concerns, since she has experience supporting childhood needs alongside adult mental health issues.

Vanessa focuses on practical steps that reduce unnecessary suffering while honoring the meaning in people’s lives. She aims to help each person act in ways that match their values and build a clearer sense of agency in day-to-day life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. It’s useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to change mood and behavior. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleeping problems. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, supports processing painful memories by combining focused recall with guided eye movements or similar bilateral stimulation; it can be helpful for trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences, and then try strategies together to see what fits. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust methods over time if something is not working.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options let people schedule sessions around work, school, and family life and follow up between meetings with messages when needed. For many, the variety of formats makes it simpler to keep continuity in care and use therapeutic tools in real life situations.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
