Vanessa Glatt

Vanessa Glatt is an LPCC who has practiced counseling for nine years in Minnesota and California. She meets people where they are and focuses on helping them notice what they need in the moment. Her style is warm and non-judgmental and she emphasizes practical steps to feel more centered.

Vanessa has worked in a range of mental health settings supporting people with anxiety, depression, ADHD, childhood trauma, grief and substance addiction. She uses mindfulness and thinking skills to help clients manage stress, anger, sleep problems, and relationship concerns. She also encourages attention to physical self-care because the body and mind affect each other.

Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive strategies, and client-centered techniques so each person gets what fits them. She focuses on connecting with thoughts and feelings in the moment and finding ways to reduce avoidable pain. Sometimes pain has meaning, she says, but it can also add unnecessary strain.

Vanessa aims to reduce stigma around mental health and to help clients understand how their minds work. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client remains the expert on their life. Her goal is to give clear tools and reminders that help people reconnect with a calmer, more balanced version of themselves.

She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, relationships, addictions, parenting strain, grief, and issues around identity and attachment. Prospective clients who want straightforward, practical support are invited to learn more and begin the matching process.

How Vanessa’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and values, then take committed steps toward what matters. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and problems that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, sleep problems, or low mood. Mindfulness-based techniques teach simple attention and breathing practices that calm the body and ground the mind, often helping with anger and reactivity.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and daily life. That process can involve trying techniques together and adjusting based on what helps most.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use practices learned in sessions in real-time between work, family, and other responsibilities.
