About Jessenia

Jessenia Aguirre offers care for adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, and challenges related to life transitions. She aims to help people build practical skills and find clearer ways to manage emotions and everyday difficulties.

Background and approach

Jessenia emphasizes creating a nonjudgmental space where clients feel able to explore difficult thoughts and feelings as they work toward greater well-being. Drawing on eight years of clinical experience, she integrates cognitive behavioral techniques alongside dialectical behavior and solution-focused strategies to tailor work to each client's needs.

Jessenia holds licenses in both New York and New Jersey as an LMHC and LPC, and she provides services in English and Spanish. Her approach centers on collaboration and empowerment, supporting clients through steps toward meaningful change while recognizing the courage it takes to begin therapy.

Practical therapy methods for online care

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical exercises, which can help with anxiety, depression, and managing mood symptoms. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to reduce intense emotional reactions and improve communication. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on building small, achievable steps toward specific goals and uses clients' strengths to create momentum for change.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each client to determine which combination of methods fits their concerns, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting strategies as work progresses.

Online sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend regularly, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care while adapting to each person's life demands.
