Specialties: Individual therapy, family therapy, child therapy, adolescent therapy, adult therapy, parenting coaching, trauma therapy
Vanessa provides virtual therapy in Pennsylvania and Virginia for children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, behavioral challenges, and life stressors. She works with clients who may feel overwhelmed, unsure how to manage emotional or behavioral patterns, or are seeking support in understanding themselves and their relationships more clearly.
Her work often focuses on supporting children and adolescents experiencing emotional or behavioral concerns, as well as parents seeking guidance, structure, and support. She also works with adults navigating stress, anxiety, and life transitions, helping clients build insight while developing practical strategies for daily life.
Vanessa’s approach is grounded in evidence-based therapy, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, and strengths-based approaches. She works collaboratively with clients to create a treatment plan that reflects their needs, goals, and current life circumstances.
She strives to create a warm, nonjudgmental, and supportive environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Her work is also informed by a commitment to cultural sensitivity and inclusivity, ensuring that each client’s background, identity, and lived experience are respected and understood.
Life’s challenges—whether related to anxiety, mood concerns, behavioral patterns, or family dynamics—can feel difficult to navigate alone. Vanessa works alongside clients to build resilience, strengthen coping skills, and support meaningful, lasting change.
I use these videos with children and families as a way to visually understand various mental health concepts. I love that they are simple and easy to understand.
I adapt this to use with clients of all ages. I find it can be hard to know what to do when we recognize a negative thought and this resource helps conceptualize ways to challenge them.
