About Vanessa

Vanessa Becerra Bautista is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Nevada. She draws on six years of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strains, family conflict, trauma, and depression. Vanessa speaks English and aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable and direct.

Vanessa centers sessions on the client's experience and strengths. She treats each person as the expert in their own life and works collaboratively to set clear, achievable goals. Conversations focus on practical steps and on recognizing patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.

Her background includes applying Cognitive Behavioral Therapy methods to address overwhelming thoughts and unhelpful behaviors. She helps people notice how thinking and actions connect, then practices small changes that reduce distress and improve coping. The work is hands-on and focused on real-life problems.

Clients also bring concerns such as abandonment, attachment worries, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, life purpose, money and financial issues, mood disorders, and experiences with narcissism. Vanessa integrates these topics into goal-oriented sessions tailored to each person’s priorities.

Therapy with Vanessa begins with a simple step of signing up and completing a short matching questionnaire. From there she helps people schedule sessions and move toward clearer thinking, better routines, and more manageable days.

CBT and practical tools for online therapy

Vanessa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people see how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying different responses so daily stress and mood improve. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, depression, relationship worries, and trouble with decision making.

Therapy is collaborative and paced to the person’s needs. Vanessa will work with each client to choose techniques and goals that fit their situation. Together they try strategies, review progress, and adjust the plan when needed so the approach matches real-life demands.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm available session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can still use CBT worksheets, thought records, and behavioral experiments in remote sessions to help people practice new skills between meetings.
