    About Vanna

    Vanna Cassimere is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Texas with ten years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, and major life changes. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive for anyone ready to seek change.

    In sessions she creates an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through. She uses practical approaches to help people cope day to day and to work toward clearer goals. Conversations are paced to each person’s needs and comfort.

    Her work also addresses related concerns such as attachment issues, mood disorders, impulsivity, and isolation or loneliness. She can help during transitions like pregnancy and childbirth, postpartum depression, and other life shifts that raise stress or uncertainty.

    Vanna draws on methods including Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. These approaches are used to clarify motivation, identify unhelpful thinking patterns, examine relationship effects, and set concrete steps forward.

    She practices in Texas and works in English. If you are thinking about beginning therapy, she encourages a simple first step to explore whether her style fits your needs.

  2. How motivational and cognitive work translate to online sessions

    Vanna uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find and strengthen their own reasons for change. This approach focuses on listening, gentle questioning, and building motivation in small steps so people feel ready to try something different.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test them against day-to-day experiences. CBT often includes simple exercises and practical strategies to reduce anxiety or improve mood between sessions.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adapt methods so they fit the client’s situation. That collaborative process helps decide whether to lean more on motivation, skill-building, or exploring past patterns.

    Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce travel time. Those practical benefits often help people stay consistent with care and apply what they learn to everyday routines.
