Vanessa Glatt, LPCC

Vanessa Glatt is an LPCC practicing in California with nine years of clinical experience. She has worked in a range of mental health settings and supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, grief, and substance addiction. Vanessa aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can begin to sort things out and feel more grounded.

She uses practical strategies rather than jargon. Sessions often focus on simple mindfulness exercises and thinking skills that reduce distress in daily life. Vanessa encourages clients to notice how their bodies and minds interact and to try small, concrete changes that support better functioning.

Vanessa describes her style as flexible and collaborative. She listens first, then suggests tools that fit the person’s current situation. Her work often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and client-centered approaches to match each person’s needs.

She helps people reconnect with a clearer sense of themselves and make choices that feel aligned with their values. That can include addressing relationship strain, career stress, grief, or changes that come in midlife. Vanessa also includes coaching elements when helpful to support practical problem solving.

Clients are invited to explore thoughts and feelings in the moment and learn techniques to ease unnecessary suffering. The goal is to empower people to act as the expert of their own life while gaining new skills to manage stress and move forward.

Approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and choosing actions that reflect personal values. It can help with stress, life transitions, and decisions that feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) supports processing distressing memories and may be used when trauma is a key concern.

Finding the right approach is often a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they adjust methods over time rather than rely on a single technique from the start.

Confirm current session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. Remote sessions can also let people use mindfulness or grounding practices in the moment and bring tools directly into their daily routines. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and EMDR techniques to work in conversation and guided exercises at a distance.
