About Vani
Vani Burnette is a licensed marriage and family therapist in California who brings 18 years of clinical experience to sessions. She works in both English and Spanish and helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and challenges tied to relationships or life changes. Her style is warm, interactive, and nonjudgmental.
Vani focuses on practical conversation and clear steps rather than labels, so people can leave a session with something useful to try.
Background and approach
In sessions she combines approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused work, and client-centered methods. That mix lets her help people notice unhelpful patterns, test new behaviors, and build coping skills for day-to-day living. Vani has also worked with people processing trauma, abuse, grief, and issues like parenting strain, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
She pays attention to how relationships and early attachment experiences shape current struggles and decisions. Her background includes experience helping people with ADHD-related challenges, intimacy struggles, process addictions, and immigration-related stress. Conversations are tailored to each person’s goals, and she partners with clients to set achievable steps forward.

Approach-focused care through online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and reactions. It helps people understand patterns in closeness, trust, and emotional responses that show up in daily life.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking, test new behaviors, and build coping skills for anxiety, anger, or low mood.
She treats finding the right approach as a team effort. The therapist will listen to goals and try methods that match needs, adjusting plans as progress is made. This collaborative process helps people find what actually helps them feel and function better.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, and chat or messaging works well for short check-ins or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make it easier to schedule consistent work toward goals from different places and routines.
