About Vanessa
Vanessa Rubin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress, grief, relationship struggles, and addiction. Vanessa aims to make therapy practical and approachable for everyday life.
She draws from several evidence-informed approaches to help clients build coping skills and clearer thinking. Sessions emphasize learning tools for emotion regulation, improving communication, and handling difficult life changes. Vanessa pays attention to each person’s background and current pressures when planning care.
Many clients seek her support for issues like low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, and codependency. She also addresses concerns such as anger, intimacy-related problems, career stress, and ADHD-related challenges. The work often includes mapping patterns and practicing different ways to respond.
Vanessa practices in a straightforward, compassionate manner. She listens first, then helps set small, achievable goals. Therapy typically combines short-term skill work with exploration of deeper emotional themes over time.
If someone wants to begin, they complete a short intake process and then schedule sessions based on availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like depression and anxiety. It often uses short, practical exercises between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape relationships and personal patterns, helping people understand attachment and intimacy-related struggles.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to see which methods feel most useful for their goals and daily life. Sessions can mix techniques over time so the plan evolves with progress and changing needs.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, then bring observations back to the session for troubleshooting and refinement.
