About Yasemin
Yasemin Bek is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She aims to make therapy straightforward and practical so people can use new tools quickly.
Yasemin often starts by listening to what matters most to the person in front of her. She helps people strengthen self-love and improve communication.
Background and approach
Sessions address relationship concerns, family-related stress, and patterns like avoidance or codependency. Her work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to create clear steps clients can try between sessions. She supports people dealing with attachment issues, feelings of isolation, guilt and shame, and struggles around commitment or trust.
The focus is on building resilience and useful coping skills. Yasemin describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps clients set goals, notice patterns, and practice healthier behaviors.
Progress is measured by small, concrete changes such as better sleep, fewer panic moments, or clearer conversations. She offers sessions in English and Turkish and provides multiple online formats to fit different schedules. The aim is to make support easier to access while keeping the work practical and grounded.
Evidence-based approaches for online care
Yasemin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she draws on helps people identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, then replace them with healthier habits. This method is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress because it gives clear steps to try between sessions. Another approach she uses emphasizes understanding attachment and relationship patterns. It helps people notice how past relationships shape current reactions and supports learning new ways of connecting and communicating. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Yasemin treats the choice as collaborative and will help determine which techniques match a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts the methods over time based on what is or isn't helping. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day or to get support without scheduling a full session. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and accessible while keeping the focus on steady progress.Frequently asked questions
