About Vanessa
Vanessa Glatt is an LPCC with nine years of counseling experience in Minnesota and California. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to reduce overwhelm and regain balance. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, and she emphasizes honest conversation over jargon.
Vanessa has supported individuals facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, substance addiction, and childhood trauma. She draws on varied settings experience to offer straightforward tools for everyday life.
Background and approach
She encourages clients to notice how thoughts and body sensations interact and to use simple habits that help. Her sessions often include mindfulness practices and thinking skills that can be applied between meetings. She uses elements from acceptance-focused work and cognitive strategies to help people respond differently to stress.
Vanessa also incorporates trauma-focused methods when past events continue to cause pain. She talks openly about reducing stigma and building understanding of how the mind works. Vanessa asks clients to consider both mental and physical self-care, since small body-based changes can shift mood and energy.
She helps people find realistic routines that fit their life. Therapy with Vanessa is collaborative. She treats the person in front of her as the expert and adapts methods to the client's goals and pace.
Her aim is to restore a more centered sense of self and to teach skills that make daily life feel more manageable.
Online approaches and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on values and small committed actions to move life in a meaningful direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. These approaches are often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and ADHD-related challenges.Choosing the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try different techniques, and adjust the approach over time. That process helps pinpoint which tools fit a client's needs and daily life.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients use shorter check-ins, track progress in writing, or send updates between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and practice new skills in real time.
