Getting to know Vanessa Latorre

Hi there, I'm Vanessa! My name is Vanessa Latorre, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from Florida International University. My approach to therapy is based on evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). My approach I have always been drawn to humanistic models of therapy that focus on a collaborative relationship based on real interactions and unconditional positive regard. I believe that my relationships with clients can be healing and that effective interventions start with a genuine human connection. My focus I feel most comfortable treating pre-teens and adults. I work via telehealth. My communication style Some of my clients have described me as easy to talk to and a good listener. In my practice, I strive to listen carefully and ask the right types of questions. My goal is to help you analyze your own thinking patterns. My journey to therapy I consider my career choice to be a calling, as there was a time when I too struggled with mental health issues of my own. My driving force is not only to provide clients with a listening ear but to give them the tools they need to maintain sound mental health. My goals for you My approach to goal setting is collaborative. After all, these are YOUR goals, so your input is paramount. My first session with you During our first session, we will take some time to get to know each other to see if we are a good fit. I will ask you a series of questions to get a clearer picture of your background, current struggles, needs, and expectations.

The appointment went smoothly and she was an incredible listener. My connection was spotty and we kept having issues with the zoom call but she managed to complete the rest of the call over the phone. It felt personal and professional and she overcame the connection issues with no problem
