About Vanessa
Vanessa Blanchette is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin. She brings ten years of clinical experience to her work and aims to make therapy straightforward and accessible for people under stress or facing big life changes. She creates a calm, non-judgmental space where people can tell their story.
Vanessa draws on multiple evidence-based therapeutic techniques to match each person's needs rather than relying on a single method.
How Vanessa works
Sessions emphasize practical coping skills, emotional processing, and building clearer ways to relate to others. Her background includes time as a crisis counselor and work at the AIDS Resource Center of Wisconsin. More recently she has served as an outpatient counselor and clinical director in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Those roles shaped her approach to safety, crisis planning, and steady support during transitions. Vanessa helps with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, sleeping problems, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and career stress. She also supports people navigating LGBT issues and family conflict.
Therapy sessions tend to mix practical tools and deeper reflection. Vanessa uses mindfulness, existential ideas, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and attachment-informed thinking to help people manage symptoms and change patterns. She aims to combine empathy and occasional lightness so therapy feels humane and useful.

Online support options
Evidence-based techniques for online support
Vanessa uses a few core evidence-based techniques in her online practice. Mindfulness work teaches simple awareness and breathing exercises to lower stress and improve sleep. Cognitive-behavioral strategies look at thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools to manage anxiety, anger, and low mood. Attachment-informed ideas focus on how past relationship patterns affect current connections and intimacy-related concerns.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try techniques, adjust based on progress, and settle on methods that fit the person's life and needs.
Online therapy here is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make scheduling simpler. Video lets people read facial cues and have deeper conversations. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick updates, brief processing, or people who prefer typing over speaking. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
