About Vanessa
Vanessa Broughton is a licensed professional counselor - mental health (LPC-MH) who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or life changes. She speaks plainly and helps clients sort through immediate problems while building longer-term coping skills. Vanessa uses therapy methods that teach concrete tools.
Sessions often include skill practice for managing strong emotions, changing unhelpful thought patterns, and improving communication. She also draws on approaches that look at values and acceptance to help with direction and motivation.
Background and approach
She has eight years of clinical experience and works with issues such as depression, self-esteem, grief, addictions, bipolar concerns, and attention-related struggles. Additional areas she helps with include career questions, caregiver stress, workplace problems, and seasonal mood shifts. Her style is collaborative and straightforward.
Conversations aim to identify what matters to the client, set small goals, and try out strategies between sessions. Vanessa encourages self-compassion and practical steps that fit everyday life. Visiting with her typically means a mix of talking, skill-building, and short homework between meetings.
The goal is to leave each session with one or two things to try that make daily life a little easier. Based in Delaware, she provides care in English and combines several evidence-informed approaches to match each person’s needs and preferences.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Vanessa commonly uses the Gottman Method and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her work. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication, reducing conflict cycles, and building practical habits that improve relationships and interaction patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values, accept uncomfortable feelings, and take committed action toward goals that matter to them.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Vanessa discusses what a person hopes to change, tries simple techniques, and adjusts methods based on how those techniques fit real life. That collaborative process helps identify whether Gottman-style communication work, ACT values work, or other skills are most useful for a client’s situation.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this type of work. Video calls let clients practice communication and emotion regulation while still at home. Phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or a lower-bandwidth alternative when video is not needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support short skill reminders, reflections between sessions, and ongoing coaching-style prompts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to try techniques in everyday moments.
