Yesenia Guerra, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Yesenia

Yesenia Guerra is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 16 years of counseling experience. She focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, family matters, and career questions. She aims to make therapy feel straightforward and practical for people who are worried and unsure where to start.

She creates a calm space for clients to share thoughts and feelings without judgment.

Background and approach

Sessions include listening, feedback, and simple tools to try between meetings. She often suggests concrete steps clients can use right away to manage symptoms and improve communication. Yesenia frequently uses techniques from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, narrative therapy, and solution-focused approaches.

She tailors those methods to match each person’s situation instead of following a fixed script. The goal is to build skills that fit daily life and real problems. She prefers virtual sessions because they make it easier to notice nonverbal cues and keep the therapy personal.

Phone sessions are possible if needed, and she also communicates by live chat and text messaging. Message responses typically come once per work day. Practical details are straightforward: she works from Texas, holds license TX LPC 65861, and conducts sessions in English.

For immediate emergencies she directs people to call 911 or the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Yesenia draws from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) when helping people online. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can find their own answers; it helps with confidence and emotional clarity. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety and stress. DBT adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships when reactions feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences rather than using the same plan for everyone. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to try and adjust them over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Video allows visual cues and a more personal feel, while phone or chat options suit busy schedules or times when typing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into daily life and keep momentum between sessions.

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.
