About Vanessa
Vanessa Glatt is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - practicing in California with nine years of clinical experience. She has worked across settings with people facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, childhood trauma, grief and substance addiction. Vanessa speaks English and brings a direct, work-focused style to sessions.
She describes using mindfulness strategies and practical thinking skills to help people feel steadier day to day. Sessions often include noticing thoughts and feelings in the moment and learning small skills to reduce predictable kinds of emotional pain. She also asks clients to consider how physical routines affect mood and focus, since body habits and mental state often interact.
Vanessa uses an eclectic mix of methods drawn from acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral tools, client-centered listening, and targeted trauma work. She helps people spot patterns like people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, or getting lost in others' problems so they can try different responses. Codependency appears among the issues she focuses on, alongside attachment and communication concerns.
Her approach is practical and collaborative. She aims to teach skills that can be used between sessions and to reduce stigma around seeking help. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and on small changes that add up over time.
To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first session. Vanessa notes that subscription-based sessions are used and can be canceled at any time, with cost varying by location.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and difficulties that come from getting stuck in rigid thinking. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying specific thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress and then testing small changes to reduce symptoms. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that works with distressing memories and body-based reactions to reduce their intensity.Choosing the right method is part of the work. The therapist and client assess needs, goals, and preferences together and try approaches that fit the situation. That collaborative decision-making may shift as progress is made or as new issues arise.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break, reduce travel time, and allow quicker follow-ups after a difficult week. Some approaches translate well to remote sessions: CBT and ACT often use worksheets and between-session practice, while EMDR can be adapted for virtual delivery with guidance. When scheduling, discuss session length and how to handle short check-ins versus full therapy sessions so they fit your day.
