More about Vanessa
- 15 years' experience

- LCSW
As a licensed therapist in California, I bring over 15 years of dedicated experience supporting individuals through complex life challenges. My practice centers on helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and intimacy-related concerns, with a particular commitment to the LGBTQ+ community.
I approach therapy as a collaborative journey, creating a compassionate and affirming space where individuals can explore their experiences, develop meaningful coping strategies, and cultivate personal growth. My therapeutic style emphasizes understanding, respect, and empowerment, recognizing that each person's path to healing is unique.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I specialize in addressing addiction, communication challenges, and interpersonal dynamics. My goal is to support clients in building resilience, enhancing self-awareness, and developing healthier relationship patterns. I am deeply committed to providing inclusive, culturally responsive care that honors each individual's lived experience and personal strengths.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
