About Yesenia
Yesenia Vazquez is a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with eight years of clinical experience. She speaks English and Spanish and works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and codependency-related concerns. She also supports people coping with life changes, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, and caregiver strain.
In sessions she listens and helps people talk through what’s happening in their day-to-day lives. She uses straightforward conversation to identify patterns that keep clients stuck. Practical skills and short-term strategies are offered when they fit the person’s goals.
Her work draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the person’s lead, and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and Motivational Interviewing to help people find reasons to change.
Yesenia has experience helping people manage grief and loss, deal with traumatic events, and recover from relationship stress. She helps people untangle family-of-origin issues, attachment concerns, and the fallout of domestic violence or separation. She also addresses burnout and compassion fatigue for those caring for others.
Sessions are conducted in English and Spanish in line with her bilingual practice. Her approach is practical and straightforward - focusing on small steps that can make daily life easier.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Yesenia commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the person’s concerns and letting them set the pace, which helps when someone needs time to name what matters. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors and introduces practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting, useful for anxiety, low mood, and codependency patterns.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing intense emotions and building routines that reduce reactivity. These approaches are described and tried together, so the therapist and client can figure out which tools fit best. Deciding on one approach is a collaborative process based on the client’s goals and preferences.
Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what will be provided. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time from appointments. A therapist will review how the approaches can be used in remote sessions and help set practical steps to practice skills between meetings.
