I am Vianne Satterfield, a master's level, licensed professional counselor (LPC) committed to helping adults overcome adversity and trauma of many kinds. I am passionate about trauma-informed approaches to therapy and am working towards becoming certified as an EMDR therapist.
My approach
My work focuses on identifying negative mindsets, reprocessing trauma, and spiritual mentoring. I am passionate about helping adults overcome anxiety, depression, and losses through CBT, EMDR, and faith-based prayer counseling. Together we identify your goals and work towards making changes in your mindsets, actions, and responses to problems and adversity in your life.
My focus
I typically work with adults aged 25+ experiencing anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, PTSD, grief and loss, sleep difficulty, and spiritual concerns.
My communication style
I listen with compassion, attunement and offer hope so you can better understand yourself and discover new ways of relating with yourself and others. I share joy with my sense of humor, at times. I ask questions and give feedback if desired.
My goals for you
Goal setting can be based on the specific symptoms you are experiencing and/or it can be based on the presenting problem of what brings you into therapy. Typically we work towards reducing symptoms, and improving functioning within work, family, and interpersonal realms.
My first session with you
The first session is typically 60 minutes to review the history of what brought you into therapy. I work towards beginning to establish a therapeutic relationship where you can see me as trustworthy and I like to demonstrate one or two coping skills to help reduce symptoms.
