About Vanessa
Vanessa Broughton is a licensed professional counselor - mental health (LPC-MH) who focuses on practical tools for people coping with anger, stress, anxiety, and life changes. She works with individuals to improve self-esteem, manage difficult emotions, and navigate career and relationship-related stress. Her style is straightforward and collaborative.
Vanessa uses a mix of proven methods to help clients spot unhelpful patterns and try new ways of reacting. Sessions often include clear exercises, skill-building, and real-world practice so people can notice small changes between meetings.
Background and approach
She pays attention to how work pressures, caregiving roles, and family of origin issues shape daily life. She has eight years of clinical experience in Delaware and holds the DE LPC-MH credential. That background informs practical strategies for depression, grief, bipolar concerns, and addictions.
Vanessa also offers coaching-style support for people looking to clarify life purpose or shift career direction. Communication problems, control issues, and compassion fatigue are common topics she helps people talk through. She also works with postpartum mood concerns, seasonal affective disorder, and young adult issues.
Sessions aim to build resilience and self-love alongside symptom relief. Vanessa speaks English and provides sessions through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. People begin by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling an appointment that fits their needs.

Online approaches that focus on skills and values
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and move toward actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, anger, and decisions about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then testing new ways of thinking and acting; it works well for depression, anxiety, and anger management. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and support, giving people space to set their own goals while the therapist offers empathy and reflection.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adapt techniques over time. That collaborative process helps settle on strategies that fit a person’s day-to-day life rather than forcing a single method.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video allows face-to-face interaction for skills practice, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can suit brief check-ins, notes between sessions, or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school schedules and to keep practicing skills between appointments.
