About Yanick
Yanick Raymond is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain and family concerns. Her manner is steady and compassionate, aimed at making hard conversations feel manageable.
She keeps sessions simple and practical. People talk through what is happening now, identify unhelpful patterns, and try changes that feel doable. Techniques come from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, shaped to each person’s needs.
Background and approach
Over eight years of practice in Virginia have given her experience with panic attacks, social anxiety, and feelings of isolation. She pays attention to communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose. This background helps when stressful events or past hurts get in the way of daily life.
Yanick focuses on building a working relationship first. She listens closely and works at the client’s pace. Together they set small goals and test out new ways of coping between sessions.
Sessions can include talk, practical skill-building, and brief behavioral experiments. The aim is clearer thinking, fewer intense moments, and better day-to-day functioning. She wants people to leave sessions with steps they can actually use.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting space where the therapist listens closely and follows the person’s lead. It helps when someone needs to feel heard, build self-understanding, and gain confidence to try changes at their own pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to test beliefs and change unhelpful habits, which can reduce panic, anxiety, and low mood over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Yanick will discuss options and adjust methods based on what the person needs and prefers. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to specific goals and day-to-day realities.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. These methods allow regular check-ins, skill practice between sessions, and flexibility when in-person meetings are difficult. They aim to keep therapy consistent and accessible while using the same core approaches that guide in-person care.
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.
