About Araseli
Araseli Hernandez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with five years of professional experience. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She also supports concerns related to body image, communication problems, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia.
Hernandez uses straightforward conversation to identify what is most pressing for each person. She focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. Sessions cover immediate coping tools as well as how to recognize patterns that keep problems going.
Her approach emphasizes clear goals and small, manageable changes. She invites people to talk about what they notice, then tries different ways of responding until something fits. This can include practicing new communication habits, experimenting with exposures to feared social situations, or working on self-talk and confidence.
She draws on five years of varied clinical work to help people move through a difficult period. Hernandez keeps the focus on what someone wants to change and what has worked for them in the past. She also offers sessions in English and Spanish.
To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription model for sessions, which can be canceled at any time. Confirm current session format options before booking.
How therapeutic techniques translate to online sessions
Araseli Hernandez works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps people can use in daily life. One common approach she uses is behavioral exposure in small, graded steps - practicing brief, doable interactions or situations to reduce avoidance and build confidence in social settings. Another approach emphasizes problem-solving and skill practice, teaching concrete communication strategies and ways to manage stress and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Hernandez and the person she’s working with will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust what they do based on what helps most. Decisions about techniques are collaborative and guided by what feels manageable and relevant for the person’s daily life.
