About Vanessa
Vanessa Blanchette is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin. She brings a calm, straightforward style to sessions and focuses on creating a nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters most to them.

Her approach draws on a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques.

She helps people with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports those coping with life changes, parenting strains, sleep problems, relationship stress, LGBT concerns, and career questions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Vanessa uses several evidence-based therapeutic techniques that adapt well to online settings. Mindfulness-based approaches teach simple practices for managing stress and grounding attention, useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and coping with life changes. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on noticing thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments, which can help with mood, worry, and low self-esteem. Attachment-informed work looks at patterns in relationships and helps people develop different ways of connecting, which can be helpful for intimacy and relationship concerns.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that suit those needs. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, with the therapist checking in about what is and isn't working.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or making it easier to schedule around work or childcare. It also makes it possible to work with a licensed professional while located in a different region. Ask about current scheduling options when you complete the matching questionnaire.
