About Yazmin

Yazmin Coleman is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with eight years of experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, trauma, grief, parenting concerns, ADHD and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

She uses a person-centered approach that focuses on listening and understanding. That means she pays attention to what matters to the individual and helps them name goals. Practical strategies are also part of the work, including techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy.

Yazmin helps people manage intense reactions and reduce repeated patterns that cause trouble at work or at home. She talks through triggers, communication patterns, and coping skills. Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs to build momentum for change.

The therapist also integrates mindfulness practices to support emotional regulation and reduce reactivity. Sessions can include short exercises to practice noticing thoughts and bodily sensations. These tools are presented in straightforward steps that can be used between meetings.

Her background in social work shapes a practical focus on strengths and problem solving. She assists with concrete concerns like addiction, grief, and relationship communication. For people handling anger, the aim is to increase awareness, widen choices, and develop alternative responses.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Yazmin blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Client-centered work focuses on listening, clarifying what matters to the client, and setting practical goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thinking and behavior patterns and teaches steps to change them, which helps with anger, anxiety, and depression. Dialectical behavior therapy offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication for people who react strongly under stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be collaborative. She will help identify which methods fit the person’s goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The emphasis is on workable tools and small practice tasks between sessions.

The original biography does not list which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday or to attend without travel. They also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or for using exercises that work well on video or phone. Licensed professionals, including therapists with similar training, often find these formats helpful for ongoing skill practice and problem solving.
