Frequently Asked Questions

Please contact me if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What are therapeutic modalities, and which ones do you use?

Therapeutic modalities are approaches or tools that guide how we work together in therapy. Each one offers a unique way to understand your experiences, make sense of emotions, and support meaningful change.

I take an integrative and flexible approach, meaning that I draw from several evidence-based methods depending on what feels most helpful for you. These are the main approaches I use paired with a brief benefit statement.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Shift unhelpful thinking and behvaioural patterns that fuel symptoms
Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT): Strengthen emotional bonds and improve communication in relationships

The Gottman Method: Improve communication, deepen connection, and resolve recurring conflicts in relationships

Client-Centred Therapy: Feel heard, supported, and accepted without judgment

Strengths-Based Therapy: Recognize your strengths and use them to create meaningful change

Internal Family Systems (IFS): Explore your inner parts, reduce inner conflict, and grow self-compassion
Narrative Therapy: Reframe your story and see yourself through a more empowering lens
Psychodynamic Therapy: Understand how past experiences shape your present patterns and choices
Attachment-Based Therapy: Strengthen relationships by exploring how early bonds influence your current ones
Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT): Identify what’s working and build practical solutions to move forward
Motivational Interviewing (MI): Increase motivation and make changes at your own pace

Mindfulness: Reduce stress, increase focus, and feel more present in daily life
Anti-Oppressive and Trauma-Informed Practice: Engage in therapy that honours your identity, safety, and lived experience
Dialogic Practice: Create space for reflection, meaning-making, and authentic conversation

I believe therapy should feel collaborative, respectful, and tailored to you. We’ll move at your pace, using what fits best and leaving out what doesn’t.

What ages do you work with and what languages do you offer?

I work with teens (14+) and adults who are navigating all kinds of life experiences.

At this time, I work exclusively in English and offer support for individuals, not couples or families.

Do you offer in-person therapy?

No, all of my sessions are offered exclusively online through a secure video platform. This gives you the flexibility to access support from wherever you feel most comfortable.

I currently work with clients who live in Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia.

What are your qualifications and background?

I, Vanessa Camillo Rende, am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), working under clinical supervision as required by the college (CRPO Registration #: 15428).

I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP) from Yorkville University and an Honours Bachelor’s degree in Psychology & English from York University. I’m also a member of the Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals (OAMHP).

Professionally, my background includes working in community mental health, trauma-informed care, case management, and private practice settings. These experiences shape the grounded, compassionate, and inclusive care I aim to offer every client.

How often do I need to come to therapy?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer - and that’s okay! Some clients may benefit from weekly or biweekly sessions, while others prefer monthly maintenance support.

We’ll work together to find a rhythm that supports your goals, your schedule, and your emotional capacity.

How do I book sessions, and what’s your cancellation policy?

Booking is simple and secure through my Jane online platform. Once you’re a client, you’ll be able to schedule, reschedule, or cancel sessions at your convenience.

For any cancellations or changes, I ask for at least 48 hours’ notice. Sessions canceled with less than 48 hours’ notice may be subject to the full session fee.
