Jessenia Aguirre is a licensed mental health professional based in New York with eight years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, and life transitions. She holds the credentials LMHC and LPC - LMHC stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor and LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor - and brings a collaborative, strengths-focused approach to therapy. Jessenia creates an open environment where clients can explore difficult thoughts and feelings without judgment and work toward clearer coping strategies and emotional balance.

Her practice also addresses related concerns such as attachment issues, communication difficulties, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, mood disorders, and building self-love. She draws on evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor care to each person’s needs. Seeking therapy often involves courage and change, and Jessenia aims to support and empower clients as they take those first steps toward greater well-being and more fulfilling daily life.

Online Approaches: CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused Care

Jessenia Aguirre uses several practical therapeutic approaches that translate well to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve day-to-day functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions, increasing distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for mood instability and relationship challenges. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes setting clear goals and finding concrete steps forward, supporting clients who want focused, change-oriented work.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jessenia will work together with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailor techniques or combine methods so the treatment fits the individual rather than expecting the individual to fit a single model.

Online therapy by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit care into busy schedules and everyday life. These options increase flexibility and accessibility by allowing clients to meet from home or other convenient locations and to choose the communication style that best supports their comfort and consistency in therapy.
