About Vanessa

Vanessa Broughton is a licensed counselor (LPC-MH) who integrates evidence-based therapies to help people manage stress, mood concerns, and life transitions. She emphasizes approaches that build practical skills for coping with anxiety, depression, anger, and ADHD-related challenges, alongside support for issues like grief, addictions, and career stress.

Background and approach

Her work also addresses caregiver strain, workplace difficulties, and questions of life purpose and self-worth. Using a collaborative, strengths-focused stance, Vanessa draws on therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy.

That blend allows her to tailor interventions to each person’s needs, whether the focus is on communication problems, family of origin issues, postpartum depression, or seasonal mood changes. She aims to help clients develop resilience, self-compassion, and practical strategies for everyday challenges.

Based in Delaware with eight years of clinical experience, Vanessa offers a professional, affirming approach that centers the client’s goals. She provides flexible session formats to fit different schedules and preferences while helping clients explore values, strengthen coping skills, and move toward clearer purpose and healthier routines.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Vanessa frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and building practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. ACT emphasizes clarifying values and developing willingness to experience difficult emotions while committing to meaningful action, often helping clients navigate life changes and purpose questions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Vanessa approaches this collaboratively. She will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs with clients to determine which methods or combination of methods best fit the situation, adapting plans as progress is made.

Online therapy is offered through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, revisit skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not practical. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver structured interventions, problem-solving tools, and emotional support tailored to each client.
