About Vanessa
Vanessa Broughton is a Licensed Professional Counselor with a focus on mental health, LPC-MH, practicing in Delaware with eight years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and the challenges that come with life changes. She also addresses concerns like addiction, grief, bipolar symptoms, and ADHD in individual sessions.
Vanessa uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside practical approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Sessions mix talking through emotions with skills practice. Clients can expect clear explanations and steady collaboration on goals and next steps.
She often helps people who are navigating workplace strain, caregiver stress, communication problems, and issues rooted in family of origin. She also supports those dealing with postpartum depression, seasonal affective disorder, and struggles around life purpose and self-love. Conversations are direct and focused on manageable changes.
Vanessa describes her work as client-centered; she listens, reflects what matters, and helps people try new ways of responding. She blends emotion-focused questions with concrete tools from CBT and DBT when useful. That combination aims to make feelings easier to name and actions easier to take.
People who start with her typically complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not currently accepted.
How her approaches translate to online work
Vanessa uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and track their emotions and attachment patterns. EFT focuses on what people feel in the moment and how emotions shape interactions and personal decisions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients notice thoughts without getting stuck and choose actions that reflect their values. ACT is often useful for anxiety, stress, and making purposeful changes. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the process grounded in the client's own concerns, with the therapist following the client's lead and reflecting what matters most.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Vanessa will discuss which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. She collaborates with clients to try approaches and adjusts based on what helps most over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow flexibility for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use sessions during a lunch break or from another location with quieter surroundings. Licensed professionals can adapt EFT and ACT exercises to an online setting so emotional awareness and practical skills remain the focus.
