About Vanessa
Vanessa Garcia Navarrete is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 10 years of experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career strain, life changes, and anger. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Vanessa focuses on clear, practical conversation. She listens and helps people name what's happening and how it affects daily life. She adapts the way she talks and plans work to each person's situation instead of following a one-size-fits-all script.
Her background includes approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She blends these methods to help with patterns of thought, strong emotions, and problem-solving in day-to-day situations.
Typical work in sessions includes identifying triggers, practicing small behavioral changes, and using brief exercises to reduce reactivity. For career and workplace concerns she helps with decision-making, confidence, and stress management. For life transitions she focuses on practical steps to regain a sense of control.
Vanessa also addresses related issues like body image, caregiver stress, eating and food-related concerns, family problems, guilt and shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. She describes starting therapy as a practical step people take when they want change, and she supports that process with focused conversation and tangible strategies.
How sessions work
How Vanessa’s approaches translate to online work
Vanessa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy alongside Client-Centered work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anger and anxiety. Mindfulness teaches simple attention practices to notice emotion early and respond differently. Client-Centered work emphasizes listening and shaping the session around what matters most to the client, such as workplace frustration or family tension.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Vanessa will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they decide which techniques to try first and adjust as progress unfolds, checking in on what helps and what needs changing.
Confirm current session options before booking since session formats are not specified here. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into the day, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or remove travel time. Others appreciate being able to use mindfulness or CBT worksheets between meetings to practice skills in real situations. Discussing practical needs at the first appointment helps match the format and approach to a person's schedule and goals.
