About Vanessa
Vanessa Blanchette is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, sleep problems, career transitions, trauma and abuse, and LGBT-related issues.
Vanessa draws on several evidence-based techniques in sessions. She favors practical, down-to-earth conversation and helps people notice patterns that keep anger and frustration cycling. She also uses mindfulness practices to calm the body and simple cognitive tools to shift unhelpful thoughts that feed irritability.
Her background includes crisis counseling and outpatient practice in community settings. She has worked with people affected by illness and trauma and has five years of experience as a clinical director at an outpatient clinic in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Those roles inform how she structures sessions and supports clients through difficult moments.
In sessions she combines talking, brief skill practice, and reflective exercises. That can mean naming triggers, trying a short grounding practice, or testing a different response to a tense moment. Humor and straightforward feedback are part of her style when appropriate.
Vanessa asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin. International clients may be accepted. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used online
Vanessa commonly uses mindfulness-based practices to help calm the body and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness means brief breathing and grounding exercises and moment-to-moment awareness skills that can lower the physical surge that often accompanies anger.She also relies on cognitive techniques to identify and shift thoughts that escalate irritation. That involves noticing automatic thoughts, testing them, and trying alternative interpretations or responses that lead to less reactive behavior.
Choosing the right approach is a shared effort. She will work together with each client to decide which techniques fit their goals and daily life. That might mean starting with short skills work, then adding reflective conversations or deeper trauma-informed methods if needed.
The original biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, or long commutes and can shorten travel time. Phone sessions can offer a quick check-in when bandwidth or camera use is an issue, while video visits allow face-to-face interaction for practicing new responses in real time.
