About Vanessa
Vanessa Longoria-Carter, LPCC, LMFT, is licensed in Texas and has 13 years of clinical experience. She works with people on trauma and abuse, eating concerns, depression, ADHD, stress and anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting strain, and career-related concerns. She describes her work as adapting dialog and plans to each person’s needs and offers professional coaching as part of her practice.
Vanessa uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, the Gottman Method, and hypnotherapy in her practice. Sessions focus on practical strategies and skills as well as processing difficult experiences. She aims to help people manage symptoms, improve daily functioning, and work through relationship and identity questions.
Clients can expect a mix of skill teaching and focused conversation. Therapy may include behavior-focused exercises, emotion regulation skills, and trauma-focused processing when appropriate. She also integrates relationship tools from the Gottman Method and targeted techniques from hypnotherapy when clinically useful.
Her background spans community and clinical work over more than a decade. That experience informs both short-term coaching and longer therapeutic work. Vanessa practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English.

How Vanessa uses evidence-based approaches online
Vanessa works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and build practical behavior changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep, and stress-related concerns.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma-related processing. EMDR involves guided processing to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and related symptoms.
Finding the right method is part of the work together. She will talk through goals, preferences, and symptoms and then recommend approaches or mix techniques to fit those needs. That choice is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.
Confirm the current online session options before booking. The platform’s intake flow and scheduling tools are used to set up the first meeting. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and EMDR techniques for remote sessions, and Vanessa will discuss what will work best for each person during the initial planning conversation.
