Yulia Nesterenko , LMHC

Yulia Nesterenko is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 12 years of experience in the mental health field. She has spent the past four years providing counseling exclusively online, helping clients navigate mood disorders, relationship challenges, transitions, and adjustment concerns. Her clinical work centers on finding practical, individualized solutions - she approaches each situation with the goal of identifying the right strategy for the person in front of her.

Much of her practice has focused on depression and anxiety, along with relationship and parenting issues, self-esteem concerns, and life changes. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to examine how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another, and a Solution Focused approach when clients seek concrete, goal-oriented answers to specific problems. For individuals coping with long-term depression or a loss of purpose, she incorporates Existential therapy to explore meaning, personal values, and ways to cultivate more fulfilling experiences.

Clients can expect sessions grounded in compassion and clear collaboration, with a balance of gentle support and direct guidance aimed at understanding current challenges and developing workable steps forward. She offers audio phone sessions and maintains flexible scheduling to accommodate clients who need different times or arrangements, inviting prospective clients to reach out if their preferred times are not listed.

Approaches and Benefits of Online Therapeutic Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the individual's experience and priorities, offering empathetic listening and support while empowering clients to set the pace and direction of their work. This approach is helpful for building self-understanding, improving self-esteem, and addressing relationship and adjustment issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, examines connections between thoughts, emotions, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and managing everyday coping strategies.

Existential Therapy invites deeper exploration of meaning, values, and purpose when clients face long-term mood concerns or a loss of motivation. It supports clients in clarifying what matters to them and creating more meaningful experiences and relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process - the therapist will work with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals and recommend methods that fit those priorities. Many clients benefit from combining elements of different approaches to achieve practical and personal gains.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to continue care across changes in routine or location. Yulia has provided online counseling exclusively for the past four years and offers audio phone sessions as one of the available options, supporting clients who need scheduling flexibility or alternative communication formats.
