Getting to know Vanessa Wilson

Hi there, I'm Vanessa! My name is Vanessa Wilson. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Southern California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I hold a Master's in Mental Health Social Work from the University of Southern California. I work with adults experiencing mild to moderate anxiety, stress, and depression. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to help my clients make progress and start feeling better. My approach My approach to therapy varies based on each client's needs. I most frequently use CBT and SFBT to build a shared understanding of their reality, allowing us to work together to chart a path forward. My focus I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for adults (18-55) navigating life transitions and social pressures. This often presents as mild to moderate anxiety, depression, and stress. I help clients navigate these periods and build skills to feel better about themselves and develop a more positive outlook on life. My communication style My communication style is calm, accommodating, and personable. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment. My goals for you Goal setting is a collaborative process where we define what you want to accomplish together. This often begins by building trust and getting comfortable with therapy. Over time, we'll set goals and track your progress. My first session with you In our first session, we'll spend most of the time discussing how you've been feeling recently, with me asking questions to better understand why you may be feeling that way.
