About Yasmin

Dr. Yasmin Lluveras is a California-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 24 years of professional experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, LGBTQ+ related concerns, relationship problems, anger management, and depression. She also works with issues around trauma and abuse, parenting, intimacy, career stress, and coping with life changes.

Her way of working is practical and goal-focused. She uses clear steps to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, then tries alternative responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one approach she lists among her methods. She also draws on solution-focused and trauma-focused methods when those fit the situation.

Sessions concentrate on concrete skills and short-term goals. People can expect help identifying patterns, practicing new reactions, and tracking what changes. She speaks English and practices in California as an LCSW.

Across her career she has worked with a wide range of concerns that include bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and self-esteem struggles. She also lists additional focus areas such as adoption and foster care, gender dysphoria, multicultural issues, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics.

Her approach treats the person as the expert on their life while offering structured strategies to reduce distress. The profile recommends confirming current session options before booking so practical details are clear.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Dr. Lluveras lists Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) among her approaches. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to change emotional responses. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and depression.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which centers short-term goals and practical steps. This approach helps people notice what works, set small objectives, and build momentum. Trauma-Focused Therapy is another method she uses when trauma is part of the concern; it focuses on reducing the ongoing impact of traumatic experiences through targeted interventions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, solution-focused work, trauma-focused work, or a mix makes the most sense based on goals and preferences. The client and therapist check progress and adapt methods as needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, or allow for sessions that do not require being on camera. These practical benefits can help people apply skills in everyday settings while working toward clear, measurable goals.
