About Vesta

Vesta Towels is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, mood conditions such as bipolar and depression, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, sleep difficulties, parenting struggles, self-esteem concerns, coping with life changes, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She also addresses related areas including abandonment, attachment issues, personality and behavioral concerns, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, codependency, communication and control issues, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and substance use concerns.

With seven years of counseling experience and a background that includes extensive case management and habilitation work within developmental services, she brings a broad, systems-aware perspective to clinical work. Vesta blends practical skill-building with reflective exploration, emphasizing tools clients can use day to day to shift thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Her practice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered, emotionally-focused, mindfulness-based, and motivational interviewing approaches to tailor support to each person’s needs. She welcomes clients in English and accepts international clients.

Vesta’s practice offers multiple online formats and works with clients to identify concrete strategies and new ways of responding so they can move out of stuck patterns and toward more manageable, meaningful routines.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Vesta Towels integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into online work to address practical concerns and deepen self-understanding. CBT focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and teaching concrete skills to manage anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and addictive behaviors. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaborative goal-setting so clients feel heard and can explore personal values and strengths.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Vesta approaches treatment collaboratively. She discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts methods over time, combining skill-based CBT techniques with supportive, client-centered moments so the plan fits the individual's needs and pace.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend regularly, practice new strategies between sessions, and maintain continuity of care when life is busy or transitions occur, while allowing therapists and clients to work together from different locations.
