Yesenia Vazquez

Yesenia Vazquez is a bilingual mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She practices in New York and speaks both English and Spanish. Her approach is warm and direct, aimed at making it easier to talk about hard things and find ways forward.

She focuses on practical support for relationship strain, parenting challenges, intimacy concerns, and the emotional fallout of trauma or abuse. She also works with people coping with caregiving stress, cancer-related issues, abandonment and attachment wounds, and problems tied to family of origin. Her list of concerns includes frustration with anger, career uncertainty, and mood disorders such as bipolar and disruptive mood dysregulation concerns.

Yesenia uses person-centered conversation alongside structured tools from cognitive behavioral work and dialectical skills. Motivational interviewing helps when clients want to build momentum toward change. Sessions balance listening with concrete strategies so a person can try things between meetings.

She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where feelings can be named and understood. The work often involves improving communication, setting boundaries, and practicing new coping skills. Progress is set by the client’s goals and pace.

Yesenia earned her license as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, and has eight years of professional experience. She supports both teens and adults and welcomes conversations in English or Spanish.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Yesenia commonly blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to support emotional change. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and letting the client set the pace and goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to shift unhelpful patterns.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotional regulation and stronger coping strategies are needed. DBT-style skills training emphasizes distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and clearer interpersonal communication, which can help with intense emotions and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and adjust methods as needed. That way therapy fits the client rather than forcing a single technique.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten check-ins when time is tight, or avoid travel. Ask about scheduling, session length, and how to arrange meetings that suit your routine.
