About Vanessa

Vanessa Glatt is an LPCC with nine years of clinical experience providing counseling in California and Minnesota. She has worked across multiple mental health settings with children and adults, addressing concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief and loss, substance addiction, and trauma.

Background and approach

Vanessa draws on a blend of evidence-based methods so she can tailor care to each person’s situation and readiness for change. Her style is warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative, emphasizing mindfulness and practical thinking skills to help people reconnect with a steadier sense of self.

Vanessa encourages attention to the relationship between body and mind and often suggests ways to support physical health alongside emotional work. She aims to reduce stigma around mental health through education and by helping clients better understand how their minds operate.

In sessions she focuses on getting present with thoughts and feelings, then using targeted strategies to lessen avoidable distress while exploring the meaning of difficult experiences. Vanessa aims to empower clients to take responsibility for their well-being, guiding the process so people can reclaim their own expertise about their lives.

Integrating evidence-based approaches in online care

Internal Family Systems helps people notice and dialogue with different parts of themselves, creating space for understanding internal conflicts and building self-leadership; it can be useful for trauma-related patterns, identity struggles, and complex emotional reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values, learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and committing to meaningful action, which supports coping with anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Vanessa works collaboratively to determine which methods fit each clients goals and preferences. She blends elements from different modalities as needed and partners with clients to adjust strategies over time so the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels with remote connection. These formats make it easier to attend regular sessions, maintain continuity during life changes, and access supportive care from home or work while continuing the collaborative process described above.
