Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy methods are used to identify patterns and try new ways of thinking and behaving. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and narrative techniques are also part of her toolkit when helpful. Yesenia creates a calm virtual space where clients can share thoughts and try new skills.

She offers constructive feedback and emotional support while helping clients practice tools between sessions. Sessions emphasize simple, usable strategies rather than abstract theory. She has 16 years of counseling experience and holds Texas license TX LPC 65861.

Most of her background involves anxiety, life transitions, relationships, and self-worth issues. That experience informs how she tailors sessions to everyday challenges. Virtual sessions are preferred because they allow observation of nonverbal signals and a more personal exchange.

Message response is typically at least once per work day. If a client needs immediate help or is in crisis, she advises calling 911 or the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.

How somatic and skills-based therapy works online

Yesenia blends somatic therapy with client-centered work and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address both body sensations and thinking patterns. Somatic Therapy pays attention to how stress and emotions show up in the body and uses gentle awareness to reduce tension and discomfort. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can explore goals at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people try concrete changes in thinking and behavior.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That might mean starting with body awareness, adding CBT skills, or using a mix depending on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets the therapist observe nonverbal cues and keep sessions personable, while phone and messaging options suit those who need more convenience. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and continue work between sessions.
