01About Vanessa
Vanessa Martinez is a licensed professional counselor in Colorado who focuses on practical, person-focused therapy. She uses clear language and straightforward steps to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and other mood concerns. Vanessa aims to create a respectful, compassionate space so people can talk about what matters most to them.
She draws on several therapy styles to match a person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions often include skills for managing strong emotions, techniques to shift unhelpful thinking, and ways to build values-driven goals.
Background and approach
Vanessa pays attention to relationship and family stressors when they affect a person’s daily life. Parents and caregivers may find help with parenting strain, postpartum mood shifts, and balancing caregiver responsibilities with self-care. She also works with people coping with grief, trauma and abuse, life changes, and career or purpose questions.
Concerns such as ADHD, bipolar mood patterns, obsessive thoughts, or social anxiety are included in her focus areas. Vanessa practices with an approach that mixes acceptance, mindfulness, and goal-oriented change. That means learning ways to notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, while also taking steps toward concrete life changes.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to fit each person’s comfort level. With three years of experience as an LPC, she combines warmth with practical strategies. A person can expect to leave sessions with small, doable practices to try between meetings and a clear plan for what to focus on next.

04Online support
Online approaches that focus on values and skills
Vanessa often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and guides them toward actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms such as anxiety and depression.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Over the first few sessions they will try methods that match those goals and adjust the plan as needed so it fits the person’s life and pace.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls are helpful when visual connection matters, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and chat or messaging suits people who prefer typed conversation or frequent brief touchpoints. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and other daily demands.
