About Vanessa

Background and approach
Her way of working mixes emotion-focused ideas with cognitive and client-centered approaches. That means she pays attention to feelings, patterns of thinking, and the person’s own priorities when planning next steps. The focus is on what helps a person move forward, not on labels.

Online support
Emotion, values, and skills for online healing
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and working with strong emotions. It helps people notice patterns in how emotions shape reactions and relationships, and then practice different responses that feel more connected and effective. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and action. It helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, choose what matters most, and take small steps toward a meaningful life even when discomfort remains. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds affect current relationships. It helps people understand triggers, improve communication, and build more supported ways of relating.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Vanessa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal style. That might mean combining EFT with cognitive techniques or leaning on ACT strategies for specific behaviors. The therapist and client set goals together and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, coaching, or ongoing homework between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to keep momentum and try new skills in everyday life.
