Remote therapy options and approach
Vanessa offers online care that combines structured skill work with trauma-focused processing. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to build emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These approaches are presented in practical, collaborative steps so the person and therapist can set goals together.
For trauma-related complaints she integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to support reprocessing of distressing memories alongside mindfulness techniques that cultivate present-moment awareness. Motivational interviewing is used when ambivalence about change is present to clarify values and strengthen resolve.
Remote sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This mix of approaches aims to fit people who are looking for structured skill development, trauma work, or a collaborative exploration of life transitions.
