Getting to know Vera Lanaro

Hi there, I'm Vera! Many people struggle with anxiety, depression, or just feel stuck in unhealthy patterns. As a therapist, my job is to offer you a judgment-free space where you can come just as you are and begin the work of healing and personal growth. With understanding and support, I believe everyone can find joy and become more empowered in their lives. My focus If you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, or self-esteem challenges, I’ll help you identify some of the causes of these common mental health challenges and give you practical skills you can use in your daily life. The goal is to help you feel better, have more energy for the things you want and need to do, and improve overall wellbeing. My approach I use evidenced-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you transform negative thought patterns into positive ones while helping you learn coping skills to manage emotional distress. Along with learning practical skills, therapy can, and should, help you discover your strengths, creativity, and personal values as part of overall wellbeing. My communication style I value clear, respectful communication. I will bring curiosity and warmth to our sessions so I can get to know you as a unique individual. If we work together, I may challenge you at times if I believe it will help you grow or provide an important insight. My priority will always be to put your therapy goals at the center of our work together. My journey to mental healthcare Many years ago I took a college philosophy class that challenged me to think about what it means to live a good life. It started me on a life-long journey of self-discovery that ultimately led to my becoming a therapist. I’m passionate about helping others on their own journeys as they heal and grow through life's many challenges.
