About Yesenia Guerra
Yesenia Guerra is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 16 years of counseling experience, including 13 years working specifically under her LPC credential. She focuses much of her work on anxiety, coping with life changes, relationship and intimacy concerns, and self-esteem, and she also addresses related areas such as attachment and abandonment, communication struggles, codependency, and body image issues. Yesenia emphasizes a collaborative, client-centered approach that combines practical tools, constructive feedback, and emotional support alongside unconditional positive regard to help clients reach their goals.
She encourages clients to take the courageous first step toward change and works to create an environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared openly. Yesenia typically prefers and recommends virtual sessions because they allow her to observe nonverbal cues and offer a more personable therapeutic experience, though she is willing to discuss other communication preferences and make appropriate arrangements if needed. For scheduling, she is usually available on Sundays from 1 PM to 6 PM and asks that weekly virtual or phone appointments be booked at least 10 hours in advance by selecting a time slot from her availability calendar.
Yesenia aims to respond to messages at least once per work day and does not normally reply during personal time - when she returns she will respond at the start or end of her work day. If someone is experiencing a crisis or immediate danger, she directs them to call 911, contact the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or go to the nearest hospital. Yesenia looks forward to supporting clients as they work toward meaningful change and improved well-being.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Yesenia integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice to meet a range of needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and supporting a person’s own strengths so they can explore identity, self-esteem, and relationship concerns in a respectful, nonjudgmental way. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical strategies and skills that are often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and patterns like avoidance or impulsivity.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Yesenia works collaboratively with each client to determine what methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time and adjusts the plan as progress and feedback guide the work.
Online therapy with Yesenia is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy lives, and access therapy from home or another convenient location while working with a licensed professional.
