About Vanessa
Vanessa Becerra Bautista is an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Nevada with six years of clinical experience. She works with people struggling with stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and depression. Vanessa frames clients as experts in their own stories and focuses on practical steps to reduce distress.
Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions in everyday situations. Sessions often involve setting small, manageable goals and practicing skills between meetings.
Vanessa pays attention to how attachment and abandonment issues shape current relationships. She also addresses related concerns such as guilt and shame, communication problems, isolation and loneliness, and difficulty with control or impulsivity. These topics are explored through clear exercises and conversational work rather than abstract theory.
She offers support for practical life stresses too, including caregiver strain, money and financial worries, body image, and changes after divorce or separation. The focus is on what can be changed now and ways to reduce overwhelming feelings.
Vanessa asks people to take the first step by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. She frames therapy as a collaborative process, working with each client to set priorities and try approaches that fit their life.
How CBT is used in online sessions and what to expect
Vanessa primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood difficulties, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps and practicing skills between sessions.Working through attachment or abandonment concerns may involve looking at patterns in relationships and trying different ways of communicating. This work uses concrete exercises and real-life practice to help people notice what helps and what gets in the way.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will ask about your goals, current struggles, and what feels doable, and then suggest strategies that match your needs. That means adjusting techniques over time and keeping the plan practical and collaborative.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce time spent traveling, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone use video or audio options depending on comfort and bandwidth. Vanessa will discuss which format fits your schedule and preferences when you set up the first appointment.
