About Vanessa
Vanessa Rubin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and related struggles such as compassion fatigue, grief, and addiction. Vanessa lists work on self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and life transitions among her areas of focus. She also notes attention to ADHD and a range of attachment and personality-related concerns.
Vanessa uses several evidence-based approaches to help people talk through what feels stuck. Sessions often involve practical skills for managing strong emotions and clear steps for coping with daily pressures. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns, practice new ways of responding, and try small behavior changes between meetings.
Her work also addresses relational patterns and communication problems that keep issues repeating. That includes support around abandonment fears, codependency, commitment and control difficulties, and challenges following divorce or separation. She brings experience with substance use and domestic violence related concerns as part of broader treatment plans.
Vanessa describes a client-centered stance where the client's priorities guide the work. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive-behavioral tools, dialectical behavior techniques, and emotionally focused methods to match what the person needs. Mindfulness skills are used to calm reactivity and increase awareness.
People who come for help can expect straightforward conversations, concrete skills, and attention to how daily life affects mood and relationships. To begin, clients choose the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How Vanessa’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and values-based action. Online sessions can guide clients to clarify what matters to them and practice small, meaningful steps between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. In remote sessions, clients often work on thought records, behavioral experiments, and short at-home assignments together with the therapist.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Vanessa will collaborate with each person to decide whether ACT, CBT, or emotionally focused techniques best fit their goals and daily life. That choice can change over time as problems shift and new priorities emerge.
The therapist’s original listing does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions useful because they can fit meetings around work, reduce travel time, and use brief check-ins when a full session is not practical. Others prefer longer meetings for deeper emotional processing. Discussing schedule preferences and practical constraints helps make sessions match everyday life.
