Vanessa Wood, LICSW

Psychotherapist
101 Arch St, Fl 8, Boston, MA
"Hi, I’m Vanessa Wood, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. I’ve worked with adolescents, teens, young adults, adults, and older adults across a range of settings, allowing me to meet each client where they are with a flexible, responsive approach. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating depression, anxiety, grief, stress, caregiver fatigue, trauma, chronic illness, and end-of-life concerns. I also provide affirming care for LGBTQ clients and am committed to creating a safe, inclusive space for all. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based methods. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and problem-solving therapies to help clients develop tools for change, insight, and resilience. I work best with individuals who are motivated to grow and are seeking greater alignment, fulfillment, and emotional well-being in their lives. My goal is to support each person in tapping into their strengths and building a more empowered path forward. I earned my graduate degree in social work from Boston University and have spent the past decade supporting diverse populations through life’s many transitions and challenges. My practice is rooted in the values of social justice, equity, and deep respect for each client’s lived experience. If you’re ready to take the next step in your mental health journey, I’d love to connect and support you in moving forward with strength and clarity!"
