She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, and major life changes. Her style is straightforward and supportive for people who feel stuck or uncertain.

Background and approach
Her work draws on several approaches to match individual needs. She uses client-centered methods to follow the person’s pace, cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation skills. Narrative and solution-focused ideas are used when helpful to reframe stories and set realistic goals.
Her focus covers many related concerns such as attachment and abandonment, codependency, communication problems, body image, eating-related issues, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She also supports people coping with chronic pain, illness, disability, and career-related stress. Yesenia prefers virtual sessions because she finds video helps capture nonverbal signals and create a more personable experience.
She responds to messages during work days and asks for patience when she is away from work. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their needs.
How her approaches work online
Yesenia uses client-centered methods to follow each person's pace and priorities. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting what a person says, and helping them feel heard so they can consider changes at their own speed.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers clear steps and exercises to reduce anxiety, shift unhelpful thinking, and build new habits. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, giving concrete tools to manage intense feelings and improve coping.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods over time. That collaborative process helps make sessions feel relevant and effective.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Chat and messaging are helpful for brief updates, reflections, or when written communication feels more comfortable. These options add flexibility so therapy can fit into busy days and changing schedules.
