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 care
Vanessa uses established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach focuses on identifying patterns in thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical skills to manage strong emotions like anger and anxiety. This helps people notice triggers and try different responses.Another approach centers on building strengths and improving relationships. Sessions work on communication skills, setting healthy boundaries, and repairing trust after conflicts such as infidelity or repeated arguments. This approach is useful for family stress and parenting challenges as well.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. That conversation guides which techniques are tried first and how they are adjusted over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different needs. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when video isn’t needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life, or other routines.
