Vanessa Glatt , LPCC

Vanessa Glatt is an LPCC practicing in California with nine years of counseling experience. She works with adults on everyday struggles like anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship difficulties. Vanessa writes plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

She brings a warm, nonjudgmental presence to sessions and aims to help people understand how their minds work. Vanessa often uses mindfulness and thinking skills to help clients reconnect with a steadier sense of self. She encourages attention to physical habits because the body and mind influence each other.

Her approach mixes several therapies to meet people where they are. That can mean building coping skills, clarifying values, or addressing traumatic memories when needed. Sessions emphasize noticing thoughts and feelings in the moment and trying strategies that reduce avoidable suffering.

Vanessa also supports people dealing with parenting stress, grief, addiction concerns, ADHD, and career or life changes. She helps with intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, and managing anger. Additional focus areas include attachment concerns, body image, codependency, and divorce or separation.

People who prefer a collaborative and practical style may find her approach helpful. She aims to remove stigma around mental health and to educate clients about how their minds function. Vanessa frames clients as the experts on their own lives while offering tools to make change more achievable.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, encourages people to clarify what matters to them and take small actions in line with those values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and life changes by reducing avoidance and increasing meaningful activity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to change mood and function. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping skills. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a method some therapists use to help process painful memories and trauma; it can reduce the intensity of distressing memories when appropriate.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Vanessa collaborates with each person to decide which methods to try based on symptoms, goals, and personal preference. That plan can change over time as progress is made or new needs emerge; the therapist and client adjust together.

Online sessions offer flexibility and easier access to care. Video calls let people work through material face to face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be a simpler check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging can support short updates, coaching-style guidance, or between-session contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different formats to see what works best.
