About Jessenia
Jessenia Aguirre helps people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, mood swings, or major life changes. She is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and a licensed professional counselor (LPC) working from New York. Her approach is direct and warm, aimed at making it easier to talk about hard things.
She focuses on practical skills that can be used between sessions. That includes coping strategies for anxiety, tools to manage depressive episodes, and concrete steps to handle the ups and downs of bipolar mood patterns.
Background and approach
Jessenia centers sessions on what someone needs right now rather than using jargon or long lectures. Many people come for help after trauma or abuse, and she provides steady, calm support while helping build coping routines. She also helps people untangle relationship patterns tied to attachment and communication.
Work on guilt, shame, or loneliness is framed around small, achievable changes. Her background spans eight years of professional experience in mental health. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to match practical tools to each person's situation.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with room for whatever feels most useful. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Jessenia emphasizes partnership in therapy - she listens first, then helps plan steps you can try between meetings.
How Jessenia Uses Practical Approaches Online
Jessenia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by giving concrete strategies to test between sessions. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills, useful when feelings feel intense or overwhelming. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set small, achievable goals and build on what is already working in a person's life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist listens to current concerns and preferences, then suggests one or a mix of methods. Clients and the therapist check in together to see what fits and adjust the plan as needed.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make it easier to fit therapy into daily life. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options aim to make consistent work on goals more practical and adaptable to different schedules.
