Vanessa Glatt, LPCC

Vanessa Glatt is an LPCC with nine years of clinical experience. She works in California and brings a warm, nonjudgmental presence to sessions. Vanessa focuses on clear, practical ways to help people feel steadier in day-to-day life.

She has worked with people facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, childhood trauma, grief and substance addiction. Vanessa emphasizes simple thinking strategies and mindfulness tools that can be used between sessions. Her approach is flexible and tailored to each persons needs rather than a single fixed method.

In sessions she helps people notice what their thoughts and habits are doing in the moment. She then practices small changes that reduce unnecessary pain and distress. Vanessa also encourages attention to physical health because the body and mind influence one another.

Vanessa aims to remove stigma around mental health and to help people understand how their minds work. She frames clients as the experts on their lives and offers guidance to reconnect with a more centered self. The work often includes reminders, skill building, and checking how daily routines support well-being.

Her style is direct but compassionate, with a focus on usable tools and steady progress. People who want straightforward strategies for stress, relationships, mood, or life changes may find this approach helpful.

Online approaches that focus on thoughts and habits

Vanessa commonly draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts and everyday habits affect mood and behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take small actions that match those values while learning to let difficult thoughts and feelings have less control. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different responses that change how someone feels and acts.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasnt worked before, then try strategies together to see what fits. This collaborative process makes it easier to pick tools that will be useful in daily life.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to maintain continuity of care through life changes while trying out new habits and thought practices.
