Background and approach
Yesenia emphasizes emotional support alongside concrete strategies to cope with life changes and daily stressors. Yesenia blends techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when helpful. That can mean learning new ways to spot unhelpful thoughts, practice distress-tolerance skills, or change patterns that keep problems going.
She also draws on narrative and solution-focused ideas to help people reframe their stories and find small, workable steps forward. Her work covers a wide range of concerns linked to relationships and inner experience, including attachment and abandonment wounds, codependency, communication problems, body image, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
She also supports people facing chronic illness, chronic pain, eating and food-related issues, and questions about life purpose. Yesenia prefers virtual sessions and aims to make scheduling straightforward. She offers constructive guidance while helping each person set goals and track progress over time.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful space where the person leads the conversation and is met with empathy and acceptance. Online sessions let the therapist listen closely to feelings and nonverbal cues while still keeping the person in charge of the pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. In virtual sessions this often includes talking through examples, practicing skills between sessions, and using short exercises shared over video or chat.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Online appointments can include coaching around distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness with homework and quick check-ins by message.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they may try one method, mix approaches, and adjust over time based on what helps.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for seeing facial expressions and subtle reactions. Phone sessions can fit a busy schedule or lower bandwidth situations. Chat or text sessions allow shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, and messaging between sessions when needed. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent alongside work, family, and other demands.
