About Yasmeen
Yasmeen Fontenot is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with three years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma and relationship challenges. Yasmeen also works with concerns like communication problems, control issues, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia.
Yasmeen uses direct conversation and practical strategies in sessions. She listens for what feels hard in everyday life and helps people name the patterns that keep causing pain. Sessions often include skill-building to manage strong emotions and steps to improve how someone relates to others.
When relationship issues come up, Yasmeen helps people work on clearer communication and boundary-setting. For social anxiety and phobia she guides clients through steady exposure and practical rehearsal of social moments that feel intimidating. For trauma and abuse she focuses on safety and small, manageable steps toward feeling less overwhelmed.
Yasmeen supports people learning to treat themselves with more kindness. She works on self-talk, routines that stabilize mood, and choices that reduce conflict. Progress is discussed in simple terms so people can notice change between sessions.
Her work is straightforward and goal-oriented, with room for reflection. People who prefer plain language and concrete tools often find this approach useful. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling options.
Approaches and how online sessions fit into working together
Yasmeen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and gradual change. One common approach is behavioral practice for social situations - that means breaking feared interactions into small steps and rehearsing responses to reduce anxiety over time. This helps when speaking up, meeting new people, or managing the feeling of being watched.Another approach is skills training for emotion regulation. That involves learning ways to calm intense feelings, handle anger, and make clearer choices in stressful moments. It is useful for stress, mood changes, and relationship tensions.
Deciding which methods to use is a collaborative process. Yasmeen will work with each person to identify goals and try approaches that match their needs and preferences. If something does not fit, she adjusts the plan together with the client.
Confirm the available session options before booking, since formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family responsibilities, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find that remote sessions let them practice skills in everyday settings and keep momentum between meetings.
