About Vanessa
Vanessa Broughton is a licensed therapist (LPC-MH) based in Delaware. She uses a practical, focused approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Her style is calm and collaborative, aimed at helping clients find tools that fit their everyday lives.
Vanessa draws on several well-established methods, including acceptance and commitment techniques and cognitive behavior tools. She helps clients notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes that can make daily routines easier.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented when needed, or more exploratory when people want to understand deeper feelings. Work and life transitions are common topics she addresses. Clients who are dealing with workplace strain, changes in purpose, or caregiving stress can expect practical strategies for communication and self-care.
Vanessa also supports people facing grief, addictions, seasonal mood shifts, and postpartum depression. Therapy can include skill practice for emotion regulation, coaching around career and life goals, and attention to self-esteem and self-love. She integrates ideas from dialectical and emotionally-focused work to strengthen relationships and emotional awareness.
The aim is to leave sessions with clear next steps and manageable practices. Vanessa has eight years of clinical experience. She offers sessions in English and provides therapy through several online formats, making it easier for clients to fit care into busy schedules.
Getting started begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session.
Therapeutic approaches for online work and everyday life
Vanessa often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, and when life changes make it hard to stay motivated. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors; CBT can help with depression, worry, and building routines that support attention and focus.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Vanessa works collaboratively to figure out what methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. That might mean starting with skills-based CBT, trying acceptance strategies, or blending techniques until something feels helpful.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful when visual connection helps the work. Phone can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when a written format feels easier. These options make it simpler to build therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between sessions.
