About Vanessa
How Vanessa Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Vanessa commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and eating concerns. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, and then pick actions that match what matters most to them. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Vanessa will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in on progress and adjusts techniques so the plan stays useful in daily life. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full office visit isn't practical. If video is not workable, other formats may require less bandwidth or allow an easier way to meet during a break at work. Ask about available formats when you schedule to find what works best for your routine.Frequently asked questions
