About Vanessa
LCSW in North Carolina with five years of practice experience, Vanessa Upshire-Tribble helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma and addiction. She works with issues related to family functioning and blended family dynamics, and has a particular focus on drug and alcohol addiction. Vanessa uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her clinical work.
Vanessa approaches sessions by treating each person as the expert on their own life. She listens for strengths clients already have and uses those strengths to tackle current problems. Sessions are practical and focused on what people want to change or understand in their day-to-day life.
With CBT, she looks at thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going and works with clients to test new ways of thinking and acting. Client-Centered Therapy means she follows the client’s lead and builds goals together rather than imposing a plan.
She has spent five years building skills in helping people manage anger and navigate the stresses that come with relationships and family change. Vanessa also works with people facing trauma and abuse, and those coping with substance use concerns.
People who choose her commonly want straightforward conversation and clear steps to try between sessions. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial meeting to set goals and plan next steps.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. Online sessions using this approach center the conversation on what the client identifies as most important and build goals together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and online CBT often includes short exercises and homework between sessions to practice new skills.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Vanessa collaborates with each person to decide whether Client-Centered techniques, CBT, or a mix will best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She will review options with the client and adjust methods as work progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, sessions may reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or remove the need to be on camera for every meeting depending on the format offered. Ask about the session types available and how they would fit into your schedule.
