About Yesenia
Yesenia Vazquez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with eight years of clinical experience. She is bilingual in English and Spanish and works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. The bio highlights relationship and family concerns, and it lists family of origin issues among areas she focuses on.
She uses clear, practical conversation to help people name what is troubling them. Sessions tend to center on identifying patterns that started in earlier family life and how those patterns show up now in relationships, work, and parenting decisions. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s pace and on cognitive behavioral strategies to address thoughts and behaviors that sustain distress.
Yesenia also incorporates skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and from Motivational Interviewing to build motivation for change. That mix is used to help people manage symptoms and develop everyday coping tools rather than to promise a specific outcome.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. Conversations aim to clarify goals, set small steps, and practice skills between sessions. She invites clients to bring examples from current life and from family history to make connections that inform new choices.
Sessions may be conducted in English or Spanish. For next steps the site’s scheduling flow is used to match and arrange a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
Yesenia uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core parts of her practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s pace to clarify feelings and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques when emotion regulation or interpersonal skills are needed. DBT skills can help with managing intense emotions, setting boundaries, and improving communication. Together these methods offer both understanding and concrete tools to address anxiety, grief, family patterns, and relationship concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean focusing on skill practice for a time or spending more sessions tracing family-of-origin patterns and how they affect current life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or remove travel time so skills work can be applied between sessions. Licensed professionals aim to match the format to practical needs rather than promise a particular service.
