About Vanessa
Vanessa Rubin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with seven years of clinical experience. She works with people who face stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship and family concerns. Vanessa also addresses issues like self-esteem, grief, parenting strains, addiction, ADHD, and problems with intimacy.
Her practice focuses on clear, practical steps people can try between sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other approaches to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions aim to break down problems into manageable parts and test new ways of responding in everyday life.
Vanessa draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered work when those approaches fit the issue. She helps people notice patterns that keep problems going, then teaches specific skills to change those patterns. Meetings tend to mix conversation, skill practice, and simple homework tasks.
Clients can expect a straightforward style that prioritizes problem solving and skill development. Vanessa pays attention to how stress shows up at work and at home and looks for realistic changes someone can try right away. The aim is steady progress through small, repeatable steps.
Her location in Louisiana shapes her practice context and she conducts work in English. Prospective clients follow the site's process to complete a brief matching questionnaire and arrange an initial session.
How CBT and ACT inform online sessions
Vanessa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions focus on concrete problems, testable experiments, and short tasks people can try between meetings to check what works.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take committed actions even when uncomfortable feelings are present. ACT techniques may be used to reduce avoidance and increase practical steps toward meaningful goals.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods to use based on the person’s goals, current challenges, and preferences. That collaborative process can include mixing CBT skills, ACT practices, and client-centered conversation.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and enabling sessions during breaks from work or between other obligations. Talk with the therapist about how to arrange sessions that match daily routines and technical comfort.
