Hello! My name is Vanessa Sewell and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I received my Bachelor's Degrees in Psychology and History from Western Kentucky University and my Master's Degree in Counseling and Human Development from Lindsey Wilson College. I have spent time counseling individuals from ages 4-80 in community mental health, foster care, and inpatient behavioral health settings for the last 4+ years. I have worked in the mental health field for more than 15 years.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session, we will get to know each other and see if our goals align for treatment. I enjoy getting to know people and find where we have commonalities. These commonalities are ways you can decide if I am the right fit, trustworthy, and capable in helping with whatever struggles you may be experiencing. Working together is the key to success in treatment; this is where you can decide if we make a good team! Our ongoing sessions will include therapeutic methods to achieve the goals you have for treatment. If we need to re-evaluate goals at any time, which is not uncommon in therapy, we can do it!
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having a variety of experiences in the mental health world affords me knowledge in many settings and struggles. Because of this, and a high level of empathy, I believe I am able to relate and understand your position so we can come up with a reasonable and achievable plan of action.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Eclectic
As a therapist, I have discovered that therapy is not a "one size fits all" treatment. As such, I work to utilize a diverse range of therapeutic methods and modalities. I draw fundamentally from an Adlerian theory to look at what makes you YOU, then work to discover how you want to fit into the world at large. Following your lead, we can approach problems and struggles in partnership together. You bring personal knowledge (because you know you best), and I'll bring the techniques, including: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and several others. Therapy sessions are your time; I'm just here to help the process!
