Hi, I’m Vesna Kresanovic, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing therapy for individuals and couples in Texas & Wisconsin. I work with people who feel overwhelmed, emotionally disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them—often after stress, trauma, relationship challenges, or major life transitions. My approach is supportive, practical, and relationship-focused. I draw from evidence-based methods like CBT, Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, and trauma-informed care to help clients better understand themselves, regulate emotions, and strengthen their relationships. Therapy with me is collaborative and paced to feel safe and manageable, not rushed or judgmental. I believe meaningful change happens when people feel truly seen and understood. My goal is to create a space where you can be honest, build insight, and develop tools you can use in everyday life—whether that means improving communication, healing from trauma, or reconnecting with yourself or your partner. If you’re looking for a therapist who is warm, grounded, and focused on real, lasting change, I’d be honored to support you.

I provide a warm, nurturing, and faith-honoring space for young adults in their 20s and first-time moms who are navigating anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and major life transitions. I specialize in supporting individuals who often carry the emotional weight of expectations, responsibilities, and caregiving—while quietly struggling to care for themselves. For young adults, therapy can be a place to process academic pressure, identity development, faith questions, relationship challenges, and the emotional overwhelm that often comes with stepping into adulthood. For first-time moms, I offer compassionate support through the emotional shifts of motherhood, postpartum adjustment, self-doubt, and the desire to remain grounded in both faith and self-care. My approach gently integrates Christian and Catholic values for those who wish to include faith as part of their healing journey, honoring the mind, body, and spirit. Whether you’re seeking calm amid racing thoughts, relief from emotional heaviness, or a renewed sense of purpose and confidence, I walk alongside you with empathy, understanding, and encouragement. Together, we’ll navigate the tides of life and create space for peace, healing, and renewal. I welcome you to begin your journey toward finding your own mental oasis—even in the midst of life’s waves. 🌊 Sessions are available in English and Spanish.

I believe talk therapy is a power tool. It can heal. It can empower. It can bring about the kind of changes you seek. In order for talk therapy to really work, you must feel connected to and trust the therapist you work with so I encourage you to find the right fit. We will start where you are and, together, we will explore new ways of making your life more manageable. To struggle is to be part of the human experience. Struggle can be a motivator for change.

It was gratifying to work with clients in their time of need and support them through the process. Many of the clients would say they felt comfortable talking to me and I listened to their needs. Those years of serving the community led me to become a therapist. Once I became a therapist 8 years ago, I found my passion. I love having the opportunity and freedom to work with clients, helping them figure things out, learn to create change in their lives and coping with situations they have no control over.

After many years of exploring a variety of jobs I finally began to focus on assisting others in this adventure called "life ." As an adult. I began serving through Christian ministry and then realized I was even more fulfilled in working more specifically in the wider field of mental health. After getting both master's and a doctoral degree in mental health, I worked in clinical settings, counseling centers, crisis centers, my own private practice , and university settings. While managing my own counseling center, I also served several years teaching graduate students in the areas of counseling and psychology. My joy comes from helping others regain control of life when cognitions, emotions, and behaviors have caused distress. We do not always understand the "why" of life experiences, however we can gain mastery of our thinking, feeling, and doing and continue to enhance functioning and happiness.

Hello, I am a clinical psychologist who has been in practice sine 1999. I work with a general adult population, with my main focus being on PTSD, depression and anxiety. During the early stages of my career, I performed extensive psychological and neuropsychological testing. This helped me to understand the general workings of the brain and how important it is to utilize this knowledge in my therapy. I have found that helping my clients understand that mental illness is not "just in my head" or something I need to "get over' has been so very beneficial in people healing and taking control of their lives.

I have taken a break from in-person therapy where I specialized in EMDR; I spent years working with First Responders, Veterans and Military Personnel and still do. At the moment I use CPT/CBT/DBT ( during virtual sessions) which are all therapies that address negative feedback loops. I am knowledgeable in how trauma affects the brain and how it impacts the client’s life in negative ways. The therapy approaches I use help heal and change those negative effects. In addition to the methods I use for individual counseling I also help couples heal their relationship using Gottman’s Method and work with families to change negative feedback loops and help foster better interpersonal relationships in the home….

I'm a therapist and I work with people who have mixed anxiety and depression. Over time, I've noticed a few patterns my client's have in common. See if this fits: you're tired of being your own worst critic. Maybe you've achieved what you're "supposed to" but feel unfulfilled. Or maybe you're stuck while others seem to move forward easily. Either way, you're harder on yourself than anyone else would be. Your mind won't quiet down at night but feels foggy during the day. Simple tasks pile up because they feel overwhelming. You put things off, then beat yourself up for procrastinating. Some days motivation is nonexistent. Other days you're anxious about everything. You've tried apps, routines, and productivity systems. Nothing works long-term because you're working against yourself. You avoid important things because failure feels terrifying. Then you criticize yourself for avoiding them. The cycle keeps repeating. Whether you're a perfectionist or feel like you're falling behind, the internal commentary is harsh. Your relationships suffer because you're distracted by self-judgment. Therapy helps you change that inner dialogue. Learning to treat yourself with basic kindness isn't self-indulgent—it's practical. You don't have to be your own obstacle.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Texas rather than a city like Dallas?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Texas. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Texas from Houston to Austin! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Texas.

Will my therapist take Blue Cross Blue Shield?

Yes! If you use Blue Cross Blue Shield you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Blue Cross Blue Shield you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What happens during the first therapy session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
