About Vanessa
Vanessa Glatt is an LPCC who draws on nine years of clinical experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and life changes. She counsels adults and children in settings that have included school and community mental health work. Vanessa aims to make mental health feel more normal and less stigmatized so people can get practical help sooner.
She meets people with a warm, nonjudgmental style. Sessions focus on connecting with thoughts and feelings in the moment and on practical strategies to ease distress. Vanessa blends mindfulness tools with cognitive techniques to help clients notice patterns and try small changes.
Her work often includes teaching simple mindfulness practices and thinking skills to build resilience. She encourages attention to the relationship between body and mind and asks clients to notice how lifestyle factors affect mood and energy. Small, concrete steps are a common focus in early sessions.
Vanessa uses an eclectic approach and tailors strategies to each person’s needs. She values collaboration and treats the person in the room as the expert on their own life. Together the therapist and client identify manageable goals and try out skills between sessions.
People commonly seek support for relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, ADHD, codependency, and struggles with self-esteem. Vanessa offers steady, practical guidance aimed at helping clients find ways to feel more centered and in charge of daily life.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and learning which ones matter to act on. It helps people get clearer about values and take small steps toward them despite difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete ways to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors to change mood and habits. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, accepting relationship where the person leads the pace and topics and the therapist listens and reflects.Finding the best approach is a shared process. Vanessa will work collaboratively to explore which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. She often combines elements from different approaches and checks in about how new strategies are working between sessions.
If you plan to try online therapy, confirm available session formats before booking since this profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins during a busy day, save travel time, or reduce the need to be on camera when that helps. Licensed professionals can still guide mindfulness practice, teach CBT skills, and lead ACT exercises effectively through remote sessions when those formats are offered.
