About Yesenia

Yesenia Guerra is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 16 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy challenges, self-esteem struggles, career and family concerns, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

Her work also addresses issues such as abandonment and attachment wounds, codependency, communication and control problems, eating and body image concerns, chronic illness and pain, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She blends practical, evidence-informed tools with a warm, client-centered stance, offering constructive feedback, skill-building, and emotional support tailored to each person’s needs.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are part of her toolkit alongside narrative and solution-focused strategies, which she uses to help clients reframe patterns and develop coping skills. Yesenia prefers virtual sessions to observe nonverbal cues and create an engaged therapeutic experience, while remaining open to alternative arrangements when appropriate.

Clients can expect clear guidance about scheduling and response times; she typically replies to messages during work days and is available for virtual or phone sessions with advance booking. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and practical steps toward goals while honoring each client’s pace and perspective.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replacing them with practical skills and new perspectives; it is commonly used for anxiety, stress, and mood-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, empathetic relationship where the therapist provides unconditional positive regard and supports the client's own process of self-exploration and growth. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and coping during life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be decided together. The therapist works collaboratively with clients to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and she adapts strategies as progress and needs evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by allowing video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and different schedules. Virtual formats also enable continuity of care across locations and let the therapist observe nonverbal cues during video sessions, which can enhance rapport and make sessions feel more personable while maintaining regular access to therapeutic support.
