Approach-Focused Online Therapy with a Licensed Counselor

Yanely commonly blends client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support clients through practical change and emotional understanding. Client-centered therapy centers the person’s own perspective and strengths - the therapist listens deeply and helps the client explore goals, values, and personal resources, which can be useful for relationship, self-esteem, and life-purpose concerns.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing concrete strategies to shift them; it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day coping challenges. She also integrates solution-focused techniques to help clients set clear goals and identify immediate steps toward improvement.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Yanely works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time, combining approaches as needed so clients feel supported and engaged in creating practical change.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to meet with licensed professionals in the ways that best suit their schedules and comfort. These modalities make it easier to maintain consistent care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
