About Vani
Vani Burnette is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who focuses on helping people strengthen self esteem and cope with life’s pressures. She offers a warm, interactive counseling style that aims to respect each person’s experience and avoid stigmatizing labels. Vani speaks English and Spanish and brings 18 years of experience to her work.
She often supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, and career transitions. She also works with those processing trauma or emotional abuse, and with people facing parenting, postpartum, or intimacy-related issues. Vani’s background includes an undergraduate degree in nutrition and dietetics, which informs a practical view of health and daily routines.
Vani blends several therapeutic approaches to match what each person needs. She uses elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas to build trust and focus on each person’s goals. Narrative and Solution-Focused techniques help people reframe their stories and take concrete steps forward.
In sessions she emphasizes collaboration and clear planning. Conversations are tailored to the client’s situation so work feels relevant and doable. Vani aims to support small changes that add up to better coping and stronger self regard.
Her practice supports a broad range of concerns including sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, compassion fatigue, codependency, and issues around guilt and shame. People who choose her can expect a practical, compassionate approach that focuses on personal strengths and next steps.
