About Vanessa
Vanessa Blanchette is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices in Wisconsin. She has ten years of clinical experience and helps people facing anxiety, anger, stress, depression, and life transitions. Vanessa aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can name what’s hard and start making small changes.
Before her current role she worked in crisis counseling and at the AIDS Resource Center of Wisconsin. For the past five years she has served as an outpatient counselor and as a clinical director at an outpatient clinic in Green Bay.
Background and approach
Those roles shaped her practical approach to everyday problems. She uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques so sessions match each person’s needs. Sessions often include mindfulness practices, exploring how thoughts affect mood, and looking at patterns in relationships.
Vanessa believes gentle humor and real empathy help conversations move forward. People come to her for help with anger, relationship concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, and issues related to sexual orientation. She also supports people who struggle with sleep, self-esteem, intimacy-related worries, and career stress.
Sessions are conducted in English and can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. International clients are accepted. To begin, a person uses the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability.
What Vanessa works with
Everything Vanessa lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Vanessa's practice.
Evidence-based approaches and online options
Vanessa uses several evidence-based techniques in short, practical ways. Cognitive behavioral approaches look at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and offer tools to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness-based practices teach simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and help with stress, anger, and sleep. Attachment-informed work pays attention to how past relationship patterns show up now and helps people form healthier ways of relating.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let conversations feel most like in-person sessions. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can fit into busy days and make it easier to share brief updates between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, parenting, and travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical change.
