Ylan Hunt, LCSW

Ylan Hunt is a California-licensed LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 10 years of professional experience supporting adults through life transitions and difficult events. She works with people facing trauma and abuse, grief and loss, self-esteem and motivation struggles, career challenges, and compassion fatigue. Her practice emphasizes practical strategies alongside emotional processing to help clients stabilize, regain confidence, and move toward meaningful goals.

Ylan approaches each person as the expert of their own story, looking for strengths and resources that can be used to overcome current obstacles. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the needs of each client, matching interventions to concerns such as post-traumatic stress, caregiving stress, chronic illness, substance issues, and family or work-related problems. Her experience includes supporting clients through end-of-life and hospice concerns, fatherhood and veteran issues, and the complex emotions of guilt, shame, and forgiveness.

Recognizing that beginning therapy often requires courage, Ylan honors that step and aims to create a collaborative, respectful space where clients can explore their priorities and build sustainable coping skills. She provides services in English and practices from California, offering flexible session formats to fit varied schedules and needs.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Healing

Ylan uses targeted, evidence-informed approaches that are practical and client-centered. Trauma-focused work helps people process distressing experiences by building safety, grounding skills, and gradual exposure to difficult memories when the client is ready. Grief-focused counseling creates space to explore loss, honor complex feelings, and develop new routines and meaning after change. Skills-based interventions teach concrete coping strategies for stress, self-esteem, and emotional regulation so clients gain tools they can use between sessions.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Ylan collaborates with clients to identify goals, assess what works for their situation, and adjust techniques over time so the plan aligns with individual needs, preferences, and life demands.

Online therapy with Ylan is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to maximize flexibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access consistent support from a licensed professional without traveling to an office.
