About Yanely
Yanely Grullon is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She holds LPC and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) credentials and practices from New York with 11 years of experience. Yanely speaks English and Spanish and works with adults facing common life challenges.
She uses an integrated approach that centers on the client. That means listening first and then building on strengths people already have. Sessions often include practical exercises from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
Yanely also uses solution-focused strategies to set short-term goals and identify small changes that make daily life easier. When past hurts interfere with current functioning she incorporates trauma-focused methods to address those memories and reactions. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
Common concerns she addresses include relationship strain, low self-esteem, mood changes, grief, parenting stress, body image, and career worries. She has experience supporting people through immigration and acculturation challenges and managing caregiver stress and blended family issues. Sessions can explore coping skills for sleeping and eating problems, strategies for navigating infidelity or abandonment wounds, and ways to reduce isolation and loneliness.
The emphasis is on practical steps and clear goals so clients can notice progress between visits.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Yanely blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors while staying focused on each person’s strengths. Client-centered therapy means sessions begin with listening and understanding so goals come from what matters most to the individual. CBT offers concrete exercises and homework to practice new ways of thinking and acting between sessions.She also uses solution-focused techniques to build short-term, achievable goals that bring quick relief and momentum. The therapist and client decide together which approach to try first and adjust as progress is made. This collaborative planning helps tailor the work to current needs, symptoms, and personal preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit a busy life. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging lets clients reflect in writing. These options make it simpler to keep appointments, follow through on homework, and access care from work, home, or while traveling.
