About Vanessa

Vanessa Glatt is an LPCC practicing in California with nine years of counseling experience. She greets clients with a warm, nonjudgmental manner and focuses on helping people understand how their minds work. Vanessa aims to reduce stigma around mental health and to encourage practical self-care habits.

She has supported people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, ADHD, and trauma-related concerns. Vanessa emphasizes simple, concrete strategies that people can use day to day. She often highlights the connection between physical routines and emotional wellbeing.

Her style is flexible and down-to-earth. Vanessa blends mindfulness practices with thinking skills to help clients reconnect with a centered sense of self. She listens for what each person needs and adjusts techniques to meet them where they are.

In sessions she helps people notice thoughts and feelings in the moment and use tools to reduce avoidable distress. Vanessa discusses how pain can hold meaning while also creating unnecessary suffering, and she supports clients in choosing actions that reflect their values.

Vanessa encourages clients to take an active role in their care and to develop practical habits that support mental health. She invites people to treat themselves with curiosity and kindness while learning skills for everyday life.

How Vanessa Uses Approaches in Online Work

Vanessa commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and reconnect with what matters to them. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions toward them, while mindfulness techniques teach simple ways to stay present and reduce reactivity.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift thinking patterns that contribute to anxiety and low mood. CBT offers practical exercises and small experiments that people can try between sessions to see what helps.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Vanessa works with each person to figure out which combination of skills and practices fits their goals and daily life. That collaboration means plans are adjusted as needs change over time.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins on a lunch break, or reduce travel time. Many people find they can practice skills in real-life settings between sessions, which helps turn conversations into everyday changes.
