Dr. Yasmin Lluveras, LCSW

Dr. Yasmin Lluveras is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 24 years of practice in California. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, anger, and issues related to LGBT identities. She talks with people about parenting concerns, intimacy, career strain, and major life changes, offering steady support as they make changes.

Dr. Lluveras approaches therapy by treating each person as the expert on their own life. She looks for strengths you already have and builds on them. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than abstract labels.

Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and develop new coping habits. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set concrete, short-term goals to create momentum. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past harm affects current relationships and daily functioning.

Over two decades of practice have brought experience with a wide range of concerns, including parenting after adoption or foster care, managing compassion fatigue, and navigating cultural or immigration-related stress. She also addresses issues such as bipolar disorder, phobias, and complexities around non-monogamous relationships and kink when relevant to a person's goals.

Dr. Lluveras aims for straightforward conversations and practical strategies. She encourages small, achievable steps and checks in on progress. If you want to explore a different way of handling stress or relationships, she can help you map out a plan and move forward.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Dr. Lluveras uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns of thought that increase stress and to practice alternative ways of thinking and behaving. This approach often focuses on small experiments and homework to change unhelpful routines.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals and identify immediate steps that lead to visible progress. That method is useful when someone wants targeted change in a few areas of life.

Trauma-Focused Therapy is available when past experiences affect present relationships or mood; it centers on stabilizing symptoms and building coping skills before addressing traumatic memories.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about your needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust methods as you learn what works best together. Expect discussion, trial of techniques, and regular check-ins on progress.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know the practical details. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when that better suits a workday. Therapists often adapt exercises and homework to the online setting so progress continues between meetings.
