About Vanessa
Vanessa Becerra Bautista is an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Nevada with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and depression. Vanessa lists guilt and shame among the issues she focuses on, along with concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, and forgiveness.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding. Sessions involve talking through specific problems, identifying patterns, and practicing small changes between meetings. Vanessa emphasizes practical steps rather than abstract theory.
Her approach treats the client as the expert on their life. She looks for strengths already present and builds on them. This can help when someone feels stuck by past actions or by a harsh inner critic.
In sessions she addresses communication problems, control issues, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. She also supports people dealing with life transitions such as divorce or caregiver stress. Conversations may cover money worries, body image, or problems connected to mood disorders and narcissistic patterns.
People who choose to work with her will find short, focused talks that aim to make daily life easier to manage. To begin she asks that prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site. The subscription for sessions can be canceled at any time.
How CBT is used in online sessions and what to expect
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different ways of thinking and acting. It is often used for anxiety, mood problems, and managing guilt or shame by breaking down thought patterns into concrete steps for change.Sessions are practical and skills-based. Conversations typically include noticing recurring thoughts, trying short behavioral experiments, and setting small practice tasks to do between sessions. This approach helps turn vague self-criticism into specific moments to examine and alter.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick which strategies fit their needs and goals. That choice can shift over time as progress or new concerns appear.
Please confirm the therapist's available online session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by removing travel, allowing shorter check-ins during busy days, or letting people meet from wherever they can focus. Licensed professionals can use these options to help clients maintain consistent, practical progress without adding extra time to their schedule.
