Dannette Vest

Dannette Vest is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), a master’s-level mental health professional, with over 13 years of clinical experience supporting individuals and couples through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, and major life transitions. Her work is rooted in the idea that meaningful change often starts with greater self-understanding, then grows through steady, collaborative exploration that respects each client’s pace and goals.

She recognizes that looking closely at painful experiences or long-standing patterns can feel intimidating. In therapy, Dannette aims to offer a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients can examine thoughts, behaviors, and experiences that may no longer fit who they are or how they want to live. From that increased awareness, she helps clients build new perspectives and practical coping strategies that better align with their values and day-to-day needs.

Her clinical work is informed by evidence-based therapeutic techniques, including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), for which she is certified, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), the Gottman Method for couples therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), including CBT approaches for insomnia, depression, and anxiety. She integrates these methods thoughtfully to support concerns such as post-traumatic stress, depression, self-esteem, communication difficulties, and relationship strain, with a warm, grounded style that emphasizes partnership and forward movement.
