About Vani

Vani Burnette is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in California. She brings 18 years of clinical experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. Vani speaks English and Spanish and aims to make therapy straightforward and practical.

Vani often uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand their close relationships and patterns. She pairs that with client-centered conversation and cognitive behavioral techniques to address negative thinking and daily habits.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on small, manageable steps people can try between meetings. Her work includes coaching around career stress, parenting challenges, sleep and eating concerns, and recovery from trauma or abuse. She also supports people dealing with grief, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and issues like codependency or loneliness.

Vani listens for what matters most and tailors the plan to each person’s needs. People meet her style as warm and interactive. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats clients with respect and sensitivity.

The goal is to build practical skills and clearer self-understanding that fit into real life. Vani describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people set short-term goals and reviews progress as therapy moves forward.

If someone wants to explore changes in relationships, mood, or daily functioning, she offers a compassionate and goal-oriented way to begin.

Online support

Attachment-informed care and online therapy options

Vani uses attachment-based ideas to look at how close relationships shape feelings and behavior. That approach helps people notice patterns in intimacy, trust, and connection so they can try different ways of relating. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that ease anxiety and mood symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Vani collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made. The process is practical and paced to what the person can manage between sessions.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and nonverbal feedback, phone can fit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and messaging supports quick reflections or ongoing coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or busy days while keeping the focus on clear goals and steady steps forward.
