About Vesta

Vesta Towels is an LPC who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, mood disorders, relationship and family challenges, trauma, sleep difficulties, parenting struggles, self-esteem concerns, life transitions, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She draws on seven years of counseling experience combined with a lengthy background in community mental health to help clients navigate difficult changes and regain balance. Her approach blends practical skill building with empathic listening.

Vesta emphasizes cognitive work to help clients notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns, while also using narrative and motivational strategies to clarify goals and strengthen resolve. She frames setbacks as part of a larger story and collaborates with clients to identify manageable, realistic steps forward.

Before becoming a licensed counselor, Vesta earned a Master of Arts in School and Professional Counseling from Lindenwood University and worked extensively in the public mental health and developmental disabilities sector. That experience contributes to a broad, systems-aware perspective that considers how life circumstances, supports, and practical barriers interact with emotional well-being.

Vesta practices in Missouri and communicates in English, and she accepts international clients.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Vesta often brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing into online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and patterns to reduce distress and change behavior, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related coping, sleep problems, and mood concerns. Motivational Interviewing supports ambivalence and strengthens a person’s own motivation to make changes, useful for addictions, behavior change, and commitment to therapy goals.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then adjusts methods over time so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single technique. That flexibility helps ensure therapy stays relevant as circumstances evolve.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer practical flexibility. They let clients attend from different locations, fit sessions into busy schedules, and continue momentum between in-person options. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver skill work, guided exercises, reflective conversations, and short check-ins in ways that support ongoing progress.
