About Yanely

Background and approach

LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor and LMHC stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor. She brings 11 years of clinical experience working with people facing anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship or parenting concerns. Her work blends Client-Centered Therapy with Solution-Focused and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, using those methods to help families set realistic goals.

She listens for strengths, helps identify patterns that cause stress, and practices concrete skills to shift thoughts and behavior. Sessions often include simple strategies for sleep, eating, communication, and coping with transitions. Yanely has worked with immigrant and refugee adults, students and professionals, and families dealing with acculturation and cross-cultural stress.

She also has experience with blended family issues, caregiver stress, and family of origin problems. This background informs a respectful, culturally aware approach. In appointments she focuses on collaboration.

Parents and caregivers leave with doable steps and clearer next actions. The aim is improved daily functioning, clearer communication, and manageable coping skills rather than abstract goals.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

The practice draws from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to keep work focused and practical. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the client's experience, helping parents and caregivers feel heard while they explore what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and teaches concrete tools for managing anxiety, mood, sleep, and daily routines.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to the familys concerns and goals, then suggest one or a mix of methods that fit those needs. Clients and the therapist check in regularly and adjust strategies based on progress and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skill practice and coaching. Phone sessions can work when video is not possible. Live chat and text-based messaging let parents share updates and get short-term support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy family schedules and to keep momentum between appointments.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
