About Vanessa
Vanessa Glatt is an LPCC with nine years of counseling experience in California and Minnesota. She has supported people facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, substance addiction, trauma, and anger. Vanessa brings a calm, nonjudgmental presence and practical strategies to sessions.
She focuses on helping people notice what is happening in their minds and bodies. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful patterns and build small skills that make daily life easier. Mindfulness and thinking skills are often part of how she works.
Background and approach
Vanessa uses a flexible, person-centered approach. She tailors tools to where each person is at instead of following one fixed path. That can include cognitive-behavioral steps, acceptance-based ideas, or trauma-focused methods when helpful.
She encourages people to pay attention to both mental and physical habits. Simple changes in sleep, movement, and self-care are discussed alongside emotional work. The goal is clearer thinking and fewer days ruled by overwhelming feelings.
Therapy with Vanessa is collaborative. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and helps them try out strategies to meet their goals. Vanessa aims to make therapy feel practical, grounded, and hopeful.

How Vanessa’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavior changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short, practical exercises to steady attention and reduce reactivity to stress and strong emotions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as the work progresses.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues and have deeper conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break. Live chat or messaging is useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style prompts, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and flexible around daily life.
