Vanessa Glatt, LPCC

Vanessa Glatt is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - practicing in California with nine years of experience. She speaks plainly with clients and focuses on practical skills for day-to-day life. Vanessa aims to help people reduce overwhelming feelings and regain a sense of balance.

She uses a mix of approaches to meet people where they are. That can include thinking skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, present-moment practices from mindfulness work, and values-based tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. She also draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions grounded in each person's goals.

Vanessa often helps people who are coping with anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, or trauma. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, attention challenges, sleep problems, and parenting stress. Sessions are practical and focused on what someone can try between meetings.

In the room she keeps a warm, nonjudgmental tone. Conversations aim to clarify what matters to the person and to build simple daily habits that reduce distress. She encourages paying attention to the body as well as thoughts, since physical care often affects mood.

Vanessa wants clients to leave with tools they can use right away. That may look like short mindfulness practices, thought records, behavior experiments, or steps to improve communication. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client is the expert on their life.

Background and approach: Her work blends skills training with exploration of meaning. When trauma or intense distress shows up she may include approaches geared toward processing those memories. Overall the focus is on clear, manageable steps that help people function better in daily life.

Practical approaches for online sessions

Vanessa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and then try new behaviors. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and habit change. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take action toward what matters, even when hard feelings remain. That approach is useful for coping with life changes, stress, and chronic worry.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Vanessa works with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and day-to-day life. She adapts tools based on what someone needs, whether that means short skill practice, values work, or grounding strategies after difficult memories arise.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill coaching, phone can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into a busy schedule.
