About Vanessa
Vanessa Van Dyke is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 16 years of experience based in Colorado. She works with adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, stress, compassion fatigue, trauma-related symptoms, and LGBTQ issues. She also supports people dealing with codependency, attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, and the emotional fallout of divorce or family problems.
Vanessa focuses on practical conversation and steady guidance. Sessions are a place to talk through what’s happening now and to learn clearer ways to set boundaries and make choices that fit personal values. She helps people name how guilt, shame, or people-pleasing get in the way of daily life and decision making.
Her approach centers on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that address symptoms and patterns. Vanessa uses straightforward tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and work through trauma-related reactions. She pays attention to identity and sexuality as part of the whole person she’s working with.
Clients can expect direct, calm feedback and help building skills for handling stress, relationship patterns, and caregiving strain. Vanessa also assists with practical concerns such as money stress and finding clearer life direction.
She is licensed in Colorado and Arizona and conducts sessions in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.
How sessions work
Approaches that guide online work
Vanessa draws on evidence-based techniques that focus on symptom relief and pattern change. Cognitive approaches help people notice unhelpful thoughts, test them, and build alternative thinking that lowers anxiety and improves mood. Trauma-informed methods address reactions tied to past hurt, offering grounding skills and steps for reducing the intensity of trauma-related symptoms.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each client to figure out what methods fit their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring, trying options and adjusting as needed.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit into a weekday break, reduce travel time, and allow sessions from a familiar setting. It can also let someone use a shorter check-in when life is busy or choose audio rather than video if that feels easier. These practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday routines while the therapist and client focus on real changes.
