Vanessa Soleil

Hi, I’m Vanessa Soleil, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York and North Carolina. I provide therapy for adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and challenged in ways that help you grow. My style blends warmth and curiosity with evidence-based approaches. I draw from DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) to build skills for managing emotions and relationships, psychodynamic and relational therapy to deepen self-understanding, Internal Family Systems to help you connect with your inner strengths, and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) to support values-based living. I also integrate EMDR for clients seeking trauma-focused treatment. Clients often describe me as both compassionate and practical. I take time to listen closely and understand the bigger picture of your life—your history, relationships, culture, and identity—while also offering concrete tools you can apply right away. Therapy with me is collaborative: together we’ll explore what’s getting in the way of the life you want and build skills and insight to move you toward resilience, confidence, and meaning. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next steps, you don’t have to face it alone. I’d be glad to support you in navigating challenges and reconnecting with your strengths.
