Background and approach
Jessenia uses methods that emphasize skills and short-term goals. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, achievable goals.
Clients can expect a direct but warm style. Sessions are a mix of talking, learning new tools, and trying simple changes between meetings. The aim is to build coping strategies that fit daily life.
Jessenia has eight years of clinical experience and holds both Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor credentials - LMHC and LPC. She practices in New York and works with adults who want clear steps toward managing anxiety and improving mood. Her approach centers on collaboration.
She helps people figure out what matters most, then tailors practical techniques and small goals to match those priorities.
Approaches and Online Options for Managing Anxiety
Jessenia commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills in online work. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that worsen anxiety and testing simple changes to reduce symptoms and improve mood. DBT skills help people regulate strong emotions, handle stress, and build healthy routines that lower reactivity.Finding the right approach is part of the process and is done together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is seen. This collaborative process helps match techniques to what the person actually wants to change.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice, phone sessions use less bandwidth when needed, live chat supports a quick check-in format, and messaging is useful for brief updates or ongoing skill reminders. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep consistent momentum toward their goals.
