About Vanessa

Vanessa Becerra Bautista practices from a foundation of practical, skills-oriented therapy that helps people address patterns that cause distress and get unstuck.

Background and approach

Vanessa is an LCPC licensed in Nevada with six years of clinical experience working with stress and anxiety, relationship and family concerns, depression, and the impacts of trauma and abuse. She emphasizes collaborative work that draws on clients' existing strengths while introducing tools to manage emotions and change unhelpful thinking.

Her approach centres on clear goals and teachable strategies, guiding people through episodes of overwhelm, communication breakdowns, and life transitions such as separation or caregiving strain. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, forgiveness and guilt, impulsivity, loneliness, mood disorders, and financial or control-related stressors.

Vanessa encourages clients to take the first step and recognizes that beginning therapy requires courage, offering steady support as they explore meaning, repair relationships, and build practical skills for daily life.

CBT-informed care and flexible online support

Vanessa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a central approach, helping clients notice how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaching concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve communication. CBT is useful for people who want practical techniques to break unhelpful patterns and build healthier responses to stress and relationship challenges.

She focuses on collaborative care where therapist and client work together to choose strategies that fit the client's goals and preferences. Finding the right approach is treated as a process rather than a one-size-fits-all solution, and she tailors interventions to each person's concerns and life circumstances.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and needs. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods or life transitions, while allowing clients to access therapy from their chosen location within Nevada. The aim is to make evidence-informed tools and steady therapeutic support as accessible and convenient as possible.
