Great to meet you!

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally exhausted? Maybe you're struggling with parenting, family conflict, relationship stress, or simply trying to hold everything together. Therapy can be a place where you don't have to carry it all alone. My name is Vanessa Cleere & I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. Together we'll identify what's keeping you stuck, build practical coping skills, and help you feel more confident and at peace.. I understand that life can get tough and that having someone that will help you process your thoughts and feelings is important. In addition to over 11 years as a therapist, I've spent more than 15 years working in schools supporting children, teens, and families through emotional, behavioral, academic, and family challenges. That experience gives me a unique understanding of how stress affects people both at home and in school.

My approach to therapy

Sessions are conversational, supportive, and goal-oriented. We'll work together to understand what's causing your anxiety or stress, identify unhelpful thought patterns, and practice practical skills you can use between sessions. I believe therapy should leave you feeling heard while also giving you tools that make everyday life easier. We focus on ways to help improve an individual's self-image or self-actualization - the things that make them feel worthwhile. I like to set goals when needed and work on various tasks in order to reach the clients ultimate needs. Because I provide virtual therapy throughout Texas, you can receive support from the comfort and privacy of your own home without adding another commute to your day. It takes courage to seek out help so I look forward to making that an easy and comfortable step for you!

What you can expect from me

I believe that my clients need to say what is on their minds and be able to feel safe to process that with me. Most people who seek my support are experiencing some form of stress in their lives so we always find the root of that. I also assist people who wish to deepen their self-understanding and personal growth. Whatever you are going through, I believe that we can join together to help you understand your unique experience and develop creative solutions.
