Vanessa Latorre, LCSW — Therapist in Florida

Hi there, I'm Vanessa!

My approach to therapy is based on evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

My focus

I am an expert in treating a variety of mental health issues, and I feel most comfortable treating pre-teens and adults. I work via telehealth.

My approach

I have always been drawn to humanistic models of therapy that focus on a collaborative relationship based on real interactions and unconditional positive regard. I believe that my relationships with clients can be healing and that effective interventions start with a genuine human connection.

My communication style

Some of my clients have described me as easy to talk to and a good listener. In my practice, I strive to listen and ask the right types of questions. My goal is to get you to analyze your thinking patterns.

My journey to mental healthcare

I consider my career choice to be a calling, as there was a time when I, too, struggled with mental health issues of my own. My driving force is not only to provide clients with a listening ear but to give them the tools they need to maintain sound mental health.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is a collaborative one. After all, these are YOUR goals, so your input is paramount.

Our first session

During our first session, we will take some time to get to know each other to see if you are a good fit for one another. I will ask you a series of questions to get a clearer picture of your background, current struggles, needs, and expectations.
