More about Vanessa
- 6 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC, LPC
I am a professional counselor, licensed in both the states of Florida and Georgia, with over five years of experience working with individuals and families. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. I am certified in accelerated resolution therapy (ART) and reconsolidation of traumatic memories (RTM) to treat these types of traumas.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, attachment-based therapy, emotion-focused therapy and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to admit that we can't always figure everything out on our own and we may need outside support. It is quite the accomplishment 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!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Vanessa has been an incredible therapist and mentor to me. I am forever grateful!!
First off, kudos to Betterhelp for pairing me with Vanessa. They did a great job linking me up with a therapist who fits with me. Vanessa is kind, actively listens, and gives me the safe space to share my pain and fall apart if I need to. She gives great advice and healing.
Vanessa is an amazing person and she can really helped me come a long way. I appreciate all that she does.
Vanessa is amazing! I feel so empowered by her help.
Vanessa offers so much more than any therapist I've ever worked with. She has pushed me to better myself and keeps me motivated all while keeping me in a safe place. She has always made my thoughts feel valid all while helping me process through them. Thank you Vanessa! - MK
Vanessa is incredible! She is very kind, supportive, and non-judgemental. She makes it very easy to feel safe and have an open conversation. She has a great, gentle nature and makes every conversation feel very personalized. Vanessa is an amazing person and such a great therapist. It’s been wonderful working with her!
Ice said this to you already, but I really feel we have a good connection and that our work will be productive. I appreciate you insights and ways of engaging. I find you easy to talk to and a source of good information to help myself.
Vanessa is very professional and intelligent. She asks the right questions that truly make you reflect deeper about yourself and is very rational. I definitely enjoy working with her! She is great!
Vanessa has been so great and insightful and I can't wait to dig in deeper with her.
I’ve just started my therapy journey again after several years, and I could not have asked for a better counselor. Vanessa has been the person I needed; she truly listens and provides sound and honest advice for me when I need it most. She always responds, and I can feel that she’s genuinely there for me. I’m so grateful for this app and for Vanessa.
Supportive, kind, and amazing counselor!
I have really enjoyed my time with Vanessa. Each and every session I see growth and feel better!
Vanessa is awesome.
SHE IS THE BEST IN THE GAME!!!!
Vanessa has helped him so much in a short period of time. Right now she’s helping me get the answers I need and showing me the proper way to react a situation.
Vanessa is very kind and professional.
Vanessa is very honest & allows you to find what it is you need to help yourself. A good counselor doesn't tell you what to do they help you to find a course of action that works for you. V is a great counselor because besides helping you to find your own path she cheers you on the whole way, while remaining honest when not honest with yourself. She's an awesome beacon of hope who's down to earth and relatable. I'm happy I found her.
Vanessa has been terrific to work with. I would benefit from in-person counseling, so I am making the move, but would most definitely consider coming back and working with Vanessa in the future, should circumstances change. Very thoughtful, compassionate and helpful, would definitely recommend.
Vanessa is a wonderful person to talk to. She will listen to what you say and not overstep in any kind of harmful way. If you’re looking for rational, expert thoughts about what you are going through, she is there.
I have had the opportunity to work with several counselors in person. I must say Vanessa and myself were matched perfectly. I look forward to continue working with her on my challenges to completely evolve as a person
Vanessa is an amazing counselor! You can tell her about anything and she really listens to you. If you have any questions or concerns, she is more than willing to explain things to you. Throughout this process, I have learned so much about myself and about patterns that I tend to partake in. It has helped me realize what I need to work on. I definitely recommend her!
Vanessa has been a great help for me in my stressful and jam packed days. I can be at work stressed and send her a message and she will always answer in a timely manner and help me focus on what I am going through. Thank you for this!
