About Yaren

Yaren Ravel is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She has seven years of professional experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, and low mood. She speaks English and Spanish and accepts international clients.

Yaren focuses on building an open space where people can talk without fear of judgment. She encourages small, practical steps that fit into daily life. Sessions emphasize clear goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

She often helps people who feel stuck by addressing shame, guilt, and problems with self-esteem. Money and financial issues are part of her additional focus areas, and she supports conversations that connect financial stress to emotions and behavior.

Yaren also works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, and impulsivity. She pays attention to how past hurts affect current relationships and choices.

Her approach is direct and collaborative. She will listen, reflect patterns, and help design practical steps you can try between sessions. Many clients find this steady, goal-oriented rhythm useful when managing panic, grief from separation, or the long-term effects of trauma.

If you decide to start, she asks you to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to her availability.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Yaren uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and practical steps. One common approach she uses emphasizes exploring patterns in thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and panic, helping people notice triggers and try small changes that feel manageable. Another approach focuses on processing past hurt and trauma in a paced way so it interferes less with daily life and relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to identify what feels most useful based on goals, symptoms, and preferences. Together they adjust methods over time if something is not helping.

If you are interested in online therapy, confirm the specific session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow more consistent check-ins during stressful periods. Some formats also let people choose shorter or more frequent touchpoints when life gets hectic, or avoid being on camera when that feels difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework so they work over distance, and this flexibility often helps people keep therapy steady alongside work, caregiving, and other commitments.
