About Jessenia
Jessenia Aguirre is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New York with eight years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Jessenia uses clear, practical methods to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other structured approaches to plan small, testable changes. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on concrete steps someone can try between sessions.
Her work also addresses attachment concerns, communication problems, guilt and shame, loneliness, and broader mood difficulties. She explores patterns that keep problems repeating and helps clients try different ways of responding. Jessenia pays attention to how emotions, thoughts, and behaviors interact in everyday life.
Appointments aim to be straightforward and focused. Jessenia and the client set goals and review progress regularly. Sessions use exercises, skill practice, and reflection to build practical skills rather than relying on long interpretations.
People who like structured, problem-solving approaches tend to find this style useful. If someone prefers brief, goal-oriented work, Jessenia uses elements from Solution-Focused Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and DBT skills. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How CBT, DBT, and solution-focused work in online sessions
Jessenia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. CBT often involves tracking thoughts, trying new behaviors, and reviewing results in the next session. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance, useful when strong emotions make it hard to act clearly.Solution-Focused Therapy narrows attention to small, achievable goals and practical steps that move a person toward what they want. Together these approaches give a mix of skills practice and short-term goal work. Jessenia will work with each client to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress is reviewed.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Many people find online sessions helpful because they make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some formats also let clients choose audio-only check-ins when bandwidth is limited or they prefer not to be on camera. Ask about available formats when scheduling to match sessions to practical needs.
