Getting to know Yesenia Martinez
Hello, I'm Yesenia Martinez, LCSW, and I provide compassionate, evidence-based virtual therapy for adolescents and adults throughout New York.
I believe that seeking therapy is a courageous step toward healing and personal growth. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to navigate life's challenges.
I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Whether you are coping with the effects of past experiences, managing overwhelming emotions, adjusting to major life changes, or feeling stuck, I work collaboratively with you to develop practical skills and meaningful strategies that support lasting change.
My therapeutic approach is client-centered and tailored to your unique needs. I incorporate evidence-based treatments, including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help clients build resilience, improve emotional well-being, and strengthen healthy coping skills.
As a virtual provider, I offer convenient, secure telehealth sessions that allow you to access quality mental health care from the comfort and privacy of your own space.
If you're ready to begin your healing journey, I would be honored to support you every step of the way.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief (including pet loss), and major life transitions. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for support, we'll work together to better understand what's happening and develop tools to help you move forward.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our first session is an opportunity to get to know one another. We'll discuss what brought you to therapy, your current concerns, your personal history, and the goals you'd like to work toward. Together, we'll create a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and priorities.
In ongoing sessions, we'll explore patterns, build practical coping skills, and work through challenges using evidence-based approaches such as CBT, CPT, and TF-CBT when appropriate. Throughout the process, I strive to provide a supportive, collaborative, and nonjudgmental environment where you can feel comfortable growing at your own pace. As therapy progresses, we'll regularly review your goals and celebrate the progress you make along the way.
