About Vanessa
Vanessa Glatt is an LPCC with nine years of clinical work in California and Minnesota. She counsels people who are managing anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, addiction, and sleep problems. Vanessa draws on direct, practical methods and a calm, nonjudgmental presence in sessions.
She keeps language simple and focuses on what can help day to day. Sessions look at current thoughts, feelings, and routines. Vanessa often uses mindfulness practices and thinking skills to reduce distress and rebuild steady habits that support better rest and emotion regulation.
Her background includes work across a range of mental health settings with both children and adults. That experience informs how she tailors interventions to where a person is right now, rather than using one fixed approach. She also encourages attention to physical self-care, noting how body routines affect sleep and mood.
In sessions Vanessa aims to help people reconnect with a steadier version of themselves. She helps clients notice patterns that cause extra pain and then practices alternative ways of responding. The work is collaborative and practical, with a focus on small changes that add up.
Vanessa uses methods drawn from acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral skills, mindfulness, client-centered listening, and EMDR when appropriate. She frames clients as the experts on their lives and supports them in making choices that feel right. This approach is aimed at reducing distress and improving everyday functioning.
How Vanessa’s Approaches Translate to Online Sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them drive every choice. It encourages identifying personal values and taking small steps toward them, which can help with anxiety, sleep struggles, and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. It uses concrete exercises and skill practice to change unhelpful patterns that contribute to insomnia, low mood, and worry.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to calm the body and interrupt spirals of stress. These practices often pair well with the thinking skills used in CBT and ACT for better day-to-day regulation.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy lives by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it easier to attend during work breaks or between errands. The focus remains on finding tools that fit daily routines and support better sleep and emotional balance.
