About Vanessa
Vanessa Glatt is an LPCC with nine years of clinical experience working in mental health settings. She practices in California and focuses on practical help for common concerns such as anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and substance-related issues. Vanessa aims to make mental health less stigmatizing and to help people understand how their minds work.
Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. She listens first and uses simple strategies to help people reconnect with a calmer version of themselves.
Background and approach
She encourages attention to both mental and physical self-care because the two often affect each other. Vanessa uses mindfulness tools and thinking skills to reduce unhelpful patterns. She adapts interventions to fit each person’s situation rather than following one fixed method.
That flexible approach helps when life feels chaotic or when old habits keep coming back. She is experienced addressing trauma, grief, ADHD, and addiction concerns alongside mood and relationship stress. Vanessa often helps people notice how thoughts and feelings show up in the moment and then practices ways to lessen needless pain.
Her work includes supporting people through big life changes and ongoing coping challenges. The aim is collaborative: clients are treated as the experts in their own lives while Vanessa offers guidance and skills. She works to create small, concrete shifts that feel manageable and meaningful in daily life.

How her approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress when people want clearer priorities and more purpose-driven action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is practical for mood issues, sleep problems, and many everyday stressors. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to calm the nervous system and improve awareness of thoughts and feelings, which can help with trauma responses and ongoing worry.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest approaches that fit. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively which methods to try and adjust as progress is made.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full-session conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or messaging can provide brief support between sessions or a more flexible way to stay connected during busy days. These formats make therapy more accessible and allow people to fit sessions into work and family schedules.
