Yesenia Vazquez, LMHC

Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 8 years of experience, Yesenia Vazquez helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and problems with self-esteem. She works in both English and Spanish. Yesenia supports people facing relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, anger, career questions, and major life changes.

Yesenia uses conversation and active listening to help people name what feels off. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client's pace and priorities. She also uses practical skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to build emotion regulation and coping skills. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when people want help finding the energy to change.

Sessions focus on clear steps and doable skills rather than long lectures. Clients can expect to talk through recent events, identify patterns that cause distress, and practice new ways of responding. Yesenia pays attention to how attachment and past relationships shape present feelings and behaviors.

She has experience supporting people dealing with abandonment and attachment issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and adjustment after separation or loss. She also works with concerns tied to chronic illness and trauma-related dissociation.

Yesenia emphasizes working together to set goals. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and offers skill-based exercises to try between sessions. This straightforward approach aims to make everyday life more manageable while people learn new ways to handle stress and difficult feelings.
