Yulia Nesterenko , LMHC

Yulia Nesterenko is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 12 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the strains that come with major life changes. Yulia offers a calm, practical approach and aims to find solutions that fit each person's daily life.

She has substantial experience supporting people with mood disorders and relationship struggles. Yulia often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. When someone needs a focused plan for a specific problem, she draws on solution-focused ideas to generate clear steps forward.

For clients who feel stuck in long-term low mood or a loss of meaning, she may introduce elements of Existential Therapy to explore purpose and values. Sessions are described as compassionate, collaborative, and direct so clients can better understand their challenges and try workable changes.

Yulia has provided online counseling for the past four years, and she offers audio phone sessions as part of her practice. She says she is flexible with scheduling and willing to arrange times that fit a client's routine.

The first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the Start Therapy process. Yulia aims to help people uncover practical options, whether the concern is grief, addiction, parenting strain, midlife questions, or building self-esteem.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's goals. The therapist offers empathy and follows the client's lead to build trust and clarify what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and helps people try small changes to see different results. Existential Therapy explores questions of meaning and purpose, which can help when someone feels aimless or stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. Some people prioritize short-term problem solving, while others want deeper reflection about life direction, and those options can be combined as needed.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Phone audio sessions are offered, and those can be useful when a visual call is not needed or when a quicker check-in is preferred. If session formats are important, confirm the current options before booking so they fit your schedule and daily routine.
