More about Vanessa
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a licensed clinical social worker psychotherapist licensed in Oklahoma with over 5 years of experience in the field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, personality disordered, OCD, ADHD & end of life. I also helped individuals who have experienced physical trauma or emotional traumas.
My therapy style is client directed, empathy based and engaging. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Vanessa Brown is awesome and definitely an expert in her field. She not only listens to your needs, she also provides solutions and sometimes reading material or pertinent information to help you with what you were going through.
I hopped around on Betterhelp a few times before finding Venessa. She is lovely, kind and helpful. She remembers details and really listens. She also makes makes sure to periodically check in with the goals I set at the begining and add to it ir check some off.
Vanessa is very good at what she does and listens well and presents resolve.
Vanessa has been a very good listener She is supportive and kind. She helped me through a stressful spot in my life and I am grateful for her services.
Vanessa is fantastic. She's respectful, understanding, patient and gives honest feedback. She asks questions that make me think more in depth about what I'm doing or thinking, and is flexible with appointments if the regular schedule can't accomodate. Extremely helpful all around!
She's the best!
Vanessa has been a great listener, along with very empathetic. I feel like she really understood why I was feeling the way I was, and didn't try to dismiss those feelings. She gave me some great advice on how to manage my emotions, especially the negative ones, to help me cope better. I'd highly recommend her.
From the first session Venessa didn't join Disappointed Disappointed Why is that
Vanessa Brown is a great therapist. She listens and gives great feedback and ways to work through your issues. I would highly recommend working with Vanessa.
Vanessa is great, really good therapist
She helps to give me practical guides and advice to follow and apply. She helps to hold me accountable by sending me educational worksheets or podcasts that may help me through what I’m dealing with at the time. For me hands on learning helps and I feel she takes time to find tools for me to use. Highly would suggest her someone looking for a push in yourself but not someone who gives you the answers.
I love Vanessa she’s absolutely amazing she listens to me gives advice and has helped me so much with my anxiety
Vanessa is great! She’s a great listener, very attentive, understanding, and helps me understand things. She’s been amazing, I’m so glad I got on Betterhelp.
So far I have met Vanessa three times and feel comfortable in her presence and really like the direction that we are moving forward in.
Vanessa is wonderful to talk to and an excellent listener. She's very kind and really helps you think about both the individual issues and the whole scope of things. I'm very fortunate to be working with her on everything.
She has been very helpful and supportive.
I am so grateful for Vanessa. She has helped me to identify the underlying emotions and repeating thoughts patterns that I’m struggling with. Her poignant questions help me to reflect on what I’m doing so that I can figure out how I can change these patterns. Thank you Vanessa!
I was initially skeptical of this online help, I haven't been doing it for very long with betterhelp but I certainly feel better and I enjoy our sessions just to unwind. Though i don't imagine I will find a quick fix for my mental health conditions just talking them through seems to help a bit, it is certainly cheaper and healthier than drink or drugs. I'm really glad I tried it out. Thanks a million Vanessa using this site was a great choice. And I am glad I found you.
miss vanessa helped me with my self steem, her workeets are things that help a lot!
Vanessa is a very good listener with evident knowledge and experience, this was my third session with her and I already feel we are successfully heading towards my therapy objectives.
Vanessa, is a very valuable help! Very good listener! Thank you Vanessa!
Vanessa listened to everything I had to say and provided really useful feedback and worksheets which really helped. I never felt judged when speaking with Vanessa.
She has been amazing so far asks some tough questions but is helping me get through some very difficult stuff in my life she listens and is very helpful.
My provider is very helpful and offers more than I expected coming in to this service. She makes the time and is flexible to scheduling. Her insights are very beneficial and I'm glad I was able to be matched to someone I feel confident in and comfortable with, since not all providers are the same.
She has been very considerate, consistent and respectful of my time and feelings. I needed a therapist who held me accountable as well as challenges me to think of new thoughts and perspectives. I believe Vanessa is helpful at creating the vision and actions you’re wanting to get from therapy and I feel as if I’m gaining the tools to help with positive progression in my life. Im thankful to have a therapist like her and would recommend her to anyone looking to seek a more positive experience from therapy.
It’s only been two sessions but I feel comfortable talking about anything with Vanessa. I look forward to addressing my ongoing concerns with her.
