Jasmine Dyjak, LCSW

Jasmine Dyjak is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and trained yoga instructor who brings an integrated, whole-person perspective to psychotherapy. They work with adults aged 18 to 59 on a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, relationship challenges, trauma-related conditions, and issues related to attachment and abandonment. Their practice also addresses specialized topics such as kink and alternative sex culture, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, body image, dissociation, and family-of-origin difficulties.

Jasmine’s therapeutic stance is informed by trauma work, relational science, somatic practices, cognitive and experiential techniques, and attachment-based psychodynamic models. Sessions are structured and grounded in evidence while remaining genuine and compassionate. They balance guiding the process with following each client’s lead to uncover values, passions, and concrete goals.

Their path into mental health began early, inspired by a personal commitment to become a clinical social worker. They received the Mental Health Training Program stipend from the state of California and have provided care in settings that include private group practices, the Marine Corps, Family Health Centers of San Diego, CalWORKs programs, and Survivors of Torture International. Today they continue that work as a mental health therapist focused on collaborative goal setting. Initial appointments explore needs and history, the second session orients clients to therapy and clarifies goals, and it typically takes up to three sessions to determine fit and whether they can help.

Evidence-Based Approaches Delivered Online

Jasmine uses trauma-informed approaches that focus on understanding how past stress and harm affect current thoughts, emotions, and relationships. This work helps clients develop coping strategies, process difficult experiences, and reduce symptoms linked to trauma.

They also integrate somatic techniques that pay attention to bodily sensations and movement to support emotional regulation and decrease physical tension. These practices can be especially helpful for clients experiencing anxiety, attachment-related distress, or dissociation.

Attachment-based work explores patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape expectations and communication. Through this lens clients can identify repeating dynamics, improve connection, and build more secure ways of relating.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the collaborative process. Jasmine will work with each person to identify goals, test approaches, and adjust the plan based on needs, preferences, and progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility and access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
