Yara Adam, LMHC

Yara Adam is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Brooklyn, New York, who works with clients statewide via telehealth. As an LMHC she holds a professional license to provide mental health counseling and therapy. With five years of clinical experience, she centers her practice on understanding each person's perspective so that treatment aligns with individual values and goals.

She uses a person-centered approach to learn about a client's worldview and to support progress toward clearly defined therapy goals. Yara specializes in assisting people who are managing stress and anxiety, navigating LGBTQ+ related concerns, recovering from trauma and abuse, and coping with depression. Her additional focus areas include caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, communication challenges, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, self-love, sexuality, and social anxiety.

Yara approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert on their own story and that existing strengths can be brought forward to address difficulties. She acknowledges that seeking help is a courageous step and offers steady, compassionate support throughout the process of change and healing.

Person-Centered and Evidence-Based Care Online

Yara practices using a person-centered approach that prioritizes empathic listening and collaboration; this method focuses on understanding a client's worldview and building goals together, which can be especially helpful for stress, anxiety, identity-related concerns, and life transitions.

She also applies evidence-based therapeutic techniques - meaning interventions supported by research and adapted to each person's needs. These techniques offer practical strategies to manage mood, strengthen coping skills, and address symptoms related to trauma and depression.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Yara works collaboratively with clients to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and personal preferences. Together they refine methods and adjust focus as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility and easier access to ongoing care. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it simpler to schedule around work, caregiving responsibilities, chronic health challenges, or geographic limitations. This range of options helps people maintain continuity of care and engage in therapy in ways that suit their daily lives.
