Vanessa Becerra Bautista

Vanessa Becerra Bautista is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) in Nevada with six years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma, and depression. Vanessa aims to make the first steps of therapy feel manageable and affirms each person’s strengths during the process.

Her approach centers on collaboration and practical tools. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Sessions focus on simple, concrete strategies that can be used between appointments.

Vanessa also addresses issues around attachment, abandonment, and body image. She helps people talk through guilt, shame, and forgiveness, and navigates challenges like caregiver stress, financial worries, and feeling isolated. Conversation in sessions is straightforward and goal-oriented.

People who come to her for relationship concerns work on clearer communication and managing control or impulsive reactions. For those recovering from trauma or abuse, she emphasizes steady pacing and building coping skills. Vanessa encourages clients to lean on existing strengths while learning new ways to cope.

She invites anyone taking the first step to recognize that courage matters. The work is paced to each person, and she supports clients as they try new habits and notice progress over time.

How CBT can work in online therapy

Vanessa practices Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on approach that helps people notice patterns of thinking that feed anxiety, low mood, or conflict. CBT sessions often include simple exercises and small practice tasks to try between meetings, which can help people test new ways of responding.

She focuses on making therapy collaborative. The therapist and client work together to choose goals, try strategies, and check what helps. That means adjusting the plan based on progress, preferences, and what feels manageable for each person.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Many people find online work useful because it can fit into busy schedules, reduce commute time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Vanessa will help you identify an approach that fits your needs and daily life, and will adapt tasks and pacing so the work can be done between sessions without demanding major changes to your routine.
