Yesenia Guerra, LPC

Yesenia Guerra is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 16 years of counseling experience, including 13 years working under the LPC credential. She has concentrated much of her work on anxiety, major life changes, relationship challenges, and self-esteem concerns, helping people navigate emotional and practical obstacles that affect daily life.

Yesenia takes a collaborative, respectful approach, offering a space where clients can share thoughts and feelings while receiving constructive feedback, practical tools, and emotional support. She emphasizes unconditional positive regard and works to tailor interventions to each person’s needs, drawing on techniques from client-centered work and other evidence-based methods as appropriate.

She generally prefers virtual sessions because they allow observation of nonverbal communication and often create a more personable therapeutic experience. Yesenia is typically available for virtual or phone sessions on Sundays from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM, and weekly virtual or phone appointments can be scheduled at least 10 hours in advance by selecting an available time slot. She usually responds to messages at least once per work day and aims to reply at the start or end of her work day after any personal time away. If she does not respond immediately, patience is appreciated as she may be assisting other clients.

If someone is experiencing a crisis, having suicidal thoughts, or needs immediate safety intervention, they should call 911, call the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988, or go to the nearest hospital. Yesenia looks forward to supporting clients as they set and work toward meaningful goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and How They Work Online

Yesenia uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, empathetic environment where the client’s perspective guides the pace and focus of work - this approach helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and adjusting to life changes by validating experience and building insight. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT can be especially helpful for anxiety, stress, and symptoms that interfere with daily functioning. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach practical strategies for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when emotions become overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Yesenia collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will try strategies, evaluate what helps, and adjust the plan to support steady progress.

Online therapy with Yesenia is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and scheduling flexibility. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home or work, accommodate busy schedules, and maintain continuity during life transitions, while allowing licensed professionals to provide consistent, skills-based support.
