About Yanely
Yanely Grullon uses an integrated, client-centered approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, practicing in New York. Her style is practical and direct, aimed at helping people find clear steps they can use day to day.
She draws on client-centered work to build a respectful, empathic connection. That gives people space to talk without feeling judged and to identify what matters most to them.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps break unhelpful thinking patterns and build different habits. Solution-Focused methods keep sessions goal-oriented and focused on small, achievable changes. With 11 years of experience, she has worked with people facing trauma, depression, substance use issues, and cross-cultural stress.
She has supported immigrants and refugees as well as young professionals dealing with work and life transitions. That experience informs a practical approach to common problems like sleep, eating, and parenting strain. Her background includes a Master degree in Mental Health Counseling and licensure in New York and Pennsylvania.
She speaks English and Spanish and brings attention to family of origin issues, blended family concerns, intimacy-related struggles, and grief. Clients can expect collaborative work to clarify goals and try strategies that fit their daily life. Sessions emphasize skill-building, coping tools, and steady progress.
The focus is on manageable steps for mood, relationships, and purpose rather than long lists of theory or jargon.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Yanely uses client-centered work to center each person’s experience. This approach means the therapist listens first, reflects what matters, and helps people name their own goals. It is useful for issues like relationship stress, feelings of emptiness, and family of origin concerns.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes. CBT is practical for anxiety, mood disorders, sleep and eating patterns, and coping with life transitions. Together these approaches let sessions move between understanding what is happening and trying concrete steps to feel differently.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. From there they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video is useful when visual cues matter, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging can be a shorter check-in, and text allows gradual pacing over the day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, and busy lives.
