Getting to know Yesenia Gonzalez
Hi there! My name is Yesenia Gonzalez, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Los Angeles, CA. I earned my Master's in Social Work from California State University, Northridge. Fortunately, through telehealth, I am able to work with people throughout California and Texas, as I am licensed in both states. My approach to therapy is holistic because I believe that no single method works for everyone. Most of my experience has been working with individuals facing anxiety, depression, conduct disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, and stress.
My approach
As mentioned, I use a holistic approach to therapy, combining different techniques to help you reach your goals. I might blend Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Psychodynamic Therapy, depending on what you want to achieve.
My focus
My personality and approach tend to align well with older teens and young adults, the population I have worked with the longest and feel most comfortable supporting. This means I am also experienced in treating disorders commonly associated with this age group.
My communication style
These are your sessions and your treatment-I'm here to guide you, but ultimately, I want you to feel empowered to decide what you want to work on and how. Let's talk about it!
