About Vanessa
Vanessa Broughton is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health (LPC-MH) with eight years of clinical experience based in Delaware. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and life changes, and also helps with issues like ADHD, grief, and workplace stress. Vanessa works with individuals who want practical strategies they can try between sessions.
Her approach emphasizes clear, structured methods. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Sessions include skill practice for communication problems, coping with caregiver stress, and managing mood shifts.
Vanessa often supports people facing career uncertainty, postpartum depression, seasonal affective disorder, and compassion fatigue. She helps with relationship patterns that trace back to family of origin and assists young adults working through early adult responsibilities. In-session work can include identifying patterns, setting small goals, and rehearsing new behaviors.
She frames therapy as collaborative problem-solving rather than giving fixed answers. People are invited to test changes in real life and then review what worked. Vanessa also incorporates elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when it fits a person’s goals.

How Vanessa uses CBT and related approaches online
Vanessa commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT sessions focus on concrete skills - noticing thoughts, trying an alternative action, and reviewing what happened - which translates clearly to remote sessions.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes building values-based actions and noticing difficult feelings without getting stuck. Client-centered work is used to keep sessions focused on the person’s priorities and pacing. These approaches are explained in simple terms and applied to current life problems like workplace stress, caregiver burden, or mood changes.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Vanessa will collaborate with clients to decide whether CBT, ACT, or a client-centered focus fits their goals, and she checks in regularly to adjust plans. That collaborative process helps make sessions practical and goal-oriented.
