About Yanitza

Yanitza Quiles is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) with 17 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through periods of change and difficulty. She is bilingual in English and Spanish and places strong emphasis on delivering multicultural mental health care that respects each person's background and identity. Her work has addressed a range of concerns commonly experienced across life stages, including depression, anxiety, relationship and career challenges, and struggles with self-esteem.

When individuals feel stuck, she offers guidance that blends mentorship, coaching, and clinical support to help them move forward and meet their goals. As a mother of two daughters, she brings lived experience of parenting and the transitions that accompany family life.

Outside of clinical work she enjoys CrossFit, listening to Audible books, and following a variety of true-crime podcasts. She recognizes the courage it takes to begin therapy and welcomes the opportunity to meet with people and work together to create the life they want. The LICSW credential indicates that she is a licensed independent clinical social worker, a professional qualification for providing clinical social work and psychotherapy.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the pace and direction of work while the therapist offers support and empathy. This approach is useful for people seeking to explore values, decision-making, relationships, and self-understanding.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple attention practices that can help reduce reactivity to stress and improve emotional regulation. It is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and coping with difficult emotions.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people clarify their goals and strengthen motivation for change by exploring ambivalence and building confidence. It can be effective when clients are considering life changes, career shifts, or health-related goals.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Yanitza Quiles works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then tailors techniques that fit the individual. Together they explore what methods feel most helpful and adjust the plan over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different formats, and access support from one consistent licensed professional when it is most needed.
