About Vesta Towels
Vesta Towels is a Missouri-based Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who supports people navigating the parts of life that feel heavy, disruptive, or simply hard to carry alone. She approaches therapy as a guided, skill-building process that helps clients make sense of major transitions, ongoing stress, and emotional pain, while strengthening the tools needed to regain steadiness, peace, and joy.
She earned a Master of Arts (M.A.) in School and Professional Counseling from Lindenwood University in 2013. An M.A. is a graduate-level counseling degree that provides advanced training in assessment, counseling skills, and therapeutic practice. She graduated at the top of her class and was peer-nominated as Student of the Year (2013).
In addition to her counseling work, Vesta brings more than 15 years of experience as a Department of Mental Health-Division of Developmental Disabilities Case Manager I/II/III and Habilitation Specialist II. This background includes close community-based work with adults, children, and families impacted by Autism, Downs Syndrome, and other intellectual challenges, as well as individuals living with both intellectual and mental health disorders. She also has experience supporting children and adults facing substance use, suicidal ideation, anxiety, depression, and trauma.
Her style considers how different areas of a person’s life connect and influence one another, while still providing focused, evidence-informed counseling. She often draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed approaches, Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, adapting to each client’s needs and goals. With CBT in particular, she helps clients shift perspective on daily stressors and learn practical ways to change patterns of thinking, feeling, and responding, while holding space for the reality that it is okay to not be okay - and that support can help clients move forward without staying stuck.

Therapy Approaches That Translate Well Online
Vesta Towels integrates practical, client-focused methods that can work well in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other, then practice new ways of responding to stress, anxiety, depression, or other daily pressures. Motivational Interviewing is a supportive, nonjudgmental approach that helps people sort through ambivalence and strengthen follow-through, especially when working on changes related to habits, substances, or other stuck patterns. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes empathy and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore what matters most while moving at a pace that fits their needs.Because every person’s situation is different, identifying the right approach is part of the work. Vesta Towels partners with clients to clarify goals, understand preferences, and adjust the structure of sessions over time, whether the focus is coping skills, insight, relationships, or navigating life transitions.
Online therapy also offers flexibility in how support happens. Clients can choose video calls or phone sessions for face-to-face or voice-based connection, or use live chat and text-based messaging for added convenience. These options can make it easier to stay consistent with therapy, even with a busy schedule or changing routines.
