About Vanessa
Vanessa Schneider is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with ten years of clinical experience. She speaks English and Spanish and helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, grief, parenting challenges, and self esteem concerns. Vanessa guides clients through life changes and struggles like trauma, addictions, bipolar mood concerns, and career-related stress.
Her style is warm and person-centered. She aims to create a supportive space where clients can talk through problems at their own pace. Vanessa draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and narrative techniques to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping.
In sessions she listens closely and asks practical questions. That can mean breaking big problems into smaller steps, testing small behavior changes, or reframing stories people tell about themselves. She also brings in Jungian concepts and motivational interviewing when they fit a person’s goals.
Vanessa has spent a decade helping people manage mood, relationship conflict, grief, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. Her approach blends short-term skill building with deeper conversations about meaning and identity. She also pays attention to multicultural concerns and how culture shapes feelings and choices.
Clients can expect straightforward language and clear, collaborative planning. Vanessa encourages people to try small experiments between sessions and to track what helps. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability.
