About Yaren
Yaren Ravel is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York. She brings seven years of professional experience to sessions and focuses on anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. Yaren speaks English and Spanish and offers online work with international clients.
She helps people build a calm routine for everyday stress and manage panic or anxiety attacks with step-by-step techniques. In sessions she also addresses relationship patterns, attachment and abandonment concerns, and communication problems that get in the way of connection.
Background and approach
Yaren supports people working through guilt, shame, forgiveness, and recovery after trauma. Her approach centers on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can say what’s on their mind. She encourages practical skills and small experiments between sessions that help test new ways of coping.
Sessions are paced to match each person’s comfort level and goals. Yaren has experience helping caregivers cope with burnout and people struggling with isolation, life purpose, or financial stress. She also addresses impulsivity, control issues, and challenges around separation or divorce.
Her aim is to help clients build sustainable habits that reduce distress and improve daily functioning. For those who prefer Spanish, she offers services in that language as well. She supports clients who choose online formats and works with people across different time zones.
Starting therapy begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling to fit the client’s needs.
Practical approaches for online anxiety and stress care
Yaren uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at clear problems and everyday symptoms. One approach focuses on skills to manage anxiety and panic - teaching breathing, grounding, and stepwise exposure to reduce avoidance and reclaim routines. This helps people who have frequent worry or panic attacks regain confidence in day-to-day activities.Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed support for people recovering from abuse or upsetting events. It centers on stabilizing symptoms, building coping skills, and slowly processing painful memories at a pace that feels tolerable. This approach is useful for reducing flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, and the emotional impact of past events.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify the best fit based on goals, comfort level, and progress. Plans are adjusted over time so techniques match what helps in real life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits quick check-ins, and messaging supports shorter reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around school, work, or caregiving duties.
