About Vanessa
Vanessa Rubin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with seven years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship or family concerns. She also helps with issues like grief, parenting strain, addictions, anger, career stress, and ADHD.
Vanessa favors clear, practical conversations focused on emotional experience and everyday coping. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside other approaches to help clients notice patterns in feelings and interactions. Sessions often include checking current reactions, naming hard emotions, and finding new ways to respond to them.
Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when those methods fit a person's needs. Client-Centered Therapy informs how she listens and reflects what someone says. This mix gives tools for behavior change and skills for handling strong emotions.
Common topics she addresses include attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, codependency, commitment issues, and caregiver stress. She also supports people facing domestic violence, substance use, and co-occurring mood concerns. Vanessa aims to help clients build clearer self-understanding and more reliable ways of coping.

How Vanessa uses EFT and related approaches online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying, naming, and shifting core emotions that drive relationship and personal patterns. It helps people notice how feelings connect to actions and reactions and then open new ways of responding. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills to accept difficult feelings while committing to values-based actions, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and provides practical strategies for changing unhelpful thinking and routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress or challenges become clearer.
