More about Vanessa

  • 15 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

Peace and Harmony, I am licensed in Arizona with 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with coping with addictions, relationship issues, family conflicts, & trauma and abuse. In our world of constant change, we have to define our authentic self, forgive and heal from past trauma or issues, live in the present, and continue progress for the future. As a cognitive-behavioral therapist, I provide comprehensive counseling, diagnosis, and treatment for clinical disorders, to everyday life situations.

I have 15 years of experience providing treatment services in psychiatric hospitals, outpatient mental health agencies, substance abuse treatment programs and correctional institutions.

I utilize evidence based therapeutic techniques in CBT and other therapeutic treatment modalities to help client's reach a level of acceptance and balance to be able to manage life without becoming overwhelmed by it. I encourage my clients to grow, heal, and develop to reach their optimal health and wellness using evidenced base interventions and apply a culturally sensitive integrated approach that embody, empathy, and respect., I encourage clients to increase their self-esteem, self-awareness, self-love, self-growth, and to foster healthy connections with others through positive healthy constructive change.

I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

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.
