About Vanessa

Vanessa Rubin is an LPC practicing in Louisiana with seven years of clinical experience offering compassionate support for people facing a range of emotional concerns.

Background and approach

Her practice also addresses ADHD, substance concerns, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related difficulties. Vanessa emphasizes individualized, culturally responsive care that helps clients build self-understanding, stronger communication skills, and practical coping strategies.

She draws from evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. Sessions aim to foster resilience, reduce distress, and create actionable plans for change.

She supports exploration of identity, attachment patterns, and life transitions while helping people develop tools for managing emotions and improving day-to-day functioning.

Her goal is to help clients move from surviving to thriving through steady, client-centered work.

Therapeutic approaches and online delivery

Vanessa commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her clinical work. ACT focuses on helping people clarify values and accept difficult thoughts or feelings while taking committed action toward meaningful goals, which can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. CBT targets unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, teaching practical skills to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and attention-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She works together with each client to evaluate which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts strategies over time to match progress and changing priorities.

Online therapy with Vanessa is offered through flexible formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow people to access therapy from home or on the go, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and maintain continuity of care despite geographic or time constraints. Licensed professionals can use these formats to support skill building, emotional processing, and ongoing problem solving.
