About Yasmeen

Yasmeen Hardy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with ten years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, and the strains that come with family life and major life changes. Her approach is warm and collaborative, aimed at practical steps that make daily life easier.

Her background spans direct clinical care and managed care, so she often looks at both behavioral and physical health factors together.

Background and approach

That experience helps her coordinate with other providers and see how different parts of a person’s life connect. She also brings leadership and management experience that informs clear communication and problem solving in sessions. Therapy with her focuses on building trust and practical tools.

She uses cognitive-behavioral strategies alongside strengths-based and solution-focused techniques. Sessions typically include identifying barriers, testing small changes, and tracking what helps people feel more capable and confident. Yasmeen often supports people navigating divorce, caregiving stress, chronic illness, grief, and relationship breaks in families.

She also works with issues like attachment concerns, codependency, control struggles, and feelings of isolation. Her goal is to help people gain insight and steady coping skills they can use outside sessions. She asks clients to be partners in the work and adapts plans to each person’s needs.

The emphasis is on realistic goals, step-by-step progress, and building resilience for life’s ups and downs.

How evidence-based approaches fit into online therapy

Yasmeen draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people solve problems and manage symptoms. Cognitive-behavioral strategies focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change how someone feels and acts. Strengths-based methods highlight an individual's existing resources and skills, using those strengths to address challenges and build confidence.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss which methods seem most useful given a person’s goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That collaborative process aims to match tools to what actually helps in daily life.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings are conducted. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or health appointments, and it can reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick touchpoint is helpful, or conserve bandwidth by using audio rather than video when needed. Many people find these practical benefits help them stay consistent with therapy and apply new skills between meetings.
