Getting to know Yesenia Flores

Hi there, I'm Yesenia! Hola, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Salinas, California. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Monterey Bay. It is normal to feel fear and anxiety when seeking help, but if you take the next step, we can work collaboratively to promote growth and healing. I use a holistic, strength-based approach and a solution-focused model to strengthen your existing skills while developing effective tools to manage stressors. I work with clients statewide via telehealth and currently see adults 18 and over. **My approach** I use several modalities including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Solution Focused therapy. EMDR is the most effective in my experience and I recommend it especially for trauma, feeling stuck, or frequent triggers. **My focus** I have over 10 years of experience working with individuals facing depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, anger, addiction, identity issues, low self-esteem, relationship issues, life transitions, and more. I specialize in depression, anxiety, ADHD, and trauma, tailoring modalities to client preferences and needs. **My communication style** I prioritize empathic listening and creating a space where clients feel comfortable expressing themselves without judgment. By validating emotions and being present, I show respect and acknowledgment of their experiences. I also gently challenge clients to encourage growth. Using a “what happened to you?” perspective rather than “what’s wrong with you?” helps clients feel seen and supported, fostering trust and connection throughout therapy.
