About Yazmin

Yazmin Coleman is a Licensed Independent Social Worker and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with eight years of experience. She focuses on common family and parenting concerns such as stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and relationship issues. Her style is direct and compassionate, aimed at helping people build motivation, self-esteem, and better coping skills.

Yazmin uses a client-centered approach that emphasizes listening and understanding before suggesting changes. She combines practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy with skills from dialectical behavior therapy when useful.

Background and approach

Mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques also appear in sessions to help clients stay focused and move toward goals. Sessions typically begin with a clear look at what feels most urgent to the person seeking help. Yazmin works with each person to set short-term goals and simple steps they can try between meetings.

She favors concrete tools that can reduce anxiety, improve communication, and ease parenting stress. Her training and license information are provided for clarity: OH LISW I.2103000 and FL LCSW SW19495, and she practices in North Carolina.

Yazmin speaks English and Spanish and brings practical experience from eight years in the field to conversations about coping with life changes, grief, trauma, and addiction concerns. People who choose Yazmin can expect a respectful, steady partner in therapy. She aims to help people notice small changes that add up to clearer thinking, calmer reactions, and more confidence in daily life.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online care

Client-centered therapy puts the person’s experience at the center of each session. The therapist listens without judgment and helps people name what matters most to them, which can be especially helpful when parenting or family stress feels overwhelming.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and build routines that improve daily functioning.

Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation and coping skills for intense feelings. Skills from DBT can help people manage anger, reduce impulsive reactions, and improve communication within relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, then try approaches that fit those needs in a collaborative way.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats make it easier to attend around busy family schedules, manage childcare, or connect from different locations while still using the therapist’s clinical methods and tools.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
