About Yashira
Yashira Valdez is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Florida with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on self-esteem, stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, depression, and adjusting to life changes. She conducts sessions in English and Spanish and helps people address issues such as postpartum depression, jealousy, young adult transitions, and aging concerns.
Yashira uses straightforward conversations to help people identify patterns that make daily life harder. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thinking and behavior, and on Motivational Interviewing to help people find practical reasons to change. Mindfulness techniques are offered to reduce reactivity and manage stress in the moment.
In early sessions she listens for the pressures affecting work, family, health, and money. She and the client set short-term goals, like improving sleep, reducing panic, or rebuilding confidence after loss. Sessions include concrete exercises, homework tools, and brief skill practices that can be used between meetings.
Her approach is collaborative and direct. She checks progress regularly and adjusts methods if something is not helpful. People leaving care tend to have clearer plans for next steps and specific skills to draw on when things get hard.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Payment follows a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not accepted; services are provided in Florida only.
BHow sessions work
How Yashira integrates CBT and mindfulness in online work
Yashira uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT sessions typically involve setting a clear goal, practicing small experiments, and assigning simple steps to try between meetings to test what works.She also offers Mindfulness Therapy to help reduce reactivity and notice physical and emotional signals. Mindfulness exercises are short practices that teach attention skills and calm breathing to manage stress and anxiety in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and practical limits, then try methods that fit those needs. That decision is collaborative and can be revised as progress is tracked.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes consistent weekly work more feasible when juggling work, childcare, or health appointments.
