She speaks English and Spanish and helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes.

Her experience includes supporting people through grief, caregiving stress, relationship conflict, abandonment and attachment issues, and the fallout of separation or domestic violence. She also works with people navigating chronic illness, blended family challenges, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder.

How her approaches translate to online work
Yesenia uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and follow what the client brings to each session. This approach focuses on understanding priorities and letting the person steer the conversation. It helps when someone needs guidance on what matters most right now.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and tests small changes that can change mood and behavior. DBT teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. Both approaches lend themselves to concrete exercises you can practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Yesenia will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting over time.
