Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Vanessa integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and trauma-focused approaches into her online practice to meet a range of needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, helping clients explore their values and build self-compassion while working through relationship or identity concerns.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors; it can be especially effective for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Trauma-focused therapy targets the effects of past traumatic experiences, offering structured strategies to process difficult memories and reduce their impact on daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Vanessa works collaboratively with clients to choose methods that align with their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She tailors interventions over time so care remains responsive and practical.

Online sessions through video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for those balancing work, family, and other commitments. These options make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals and therapists without requiring travel, and they allow clients to continue progress across changing schedules and life demands.
