Yanely Grullon

Yanely Grullon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and life changes. She also helps with family and parenting issues, grief, intimacy-related concerns, sleep and eating problems, and questions about life purpose.

She has worked across cultural settings and has experience with immigrant and refugee populations, students and early professionals, and people of color. That background informs how she talks about acculturation, immigration issues, and family of origin concerns. Language support is offered in English and Spanish.

Yanely uses an integrated approach that blends client-centered work, solution-focused techniques, and cognitive behavioral ideas. In practice this means sessions look at strengths, set small achievable goals, and examine patterns of thinking that get in the way. She also draws on trauma-informed methods when past experiences are central to current struggles.

Sessions usually focus on practical steps and short-term tools alongside space to talk through feelings and relationships. She pays attention to communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and issues like abandonment and infidelity when they come up. Yanely helps clients consider career questions and coping strategies for daily stress.

Her work aims to be collaborative and goal-oriented. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to discuss concerns and next steps.

How her approaches translate to online work

Yanely commonly uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting so people can describe what matters most, which helps when sorting through life direction or relationship concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, mood, and stress.

She also uses solution-focused techniques that concentrate on small, practical steps and measurable goals. Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. Yanely discusses goals and preferences in the first sessions and adjusts methods based on what the client finds helpful.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions are conducted. Online work can make it easier to fit short check-ins into a busy schedule, remove commute time, and allow sessions from different locations when life is hectic. It can also allow for quieter or lower-bandwidth visits that do not require being on camera. Many people find these practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday life while they work on stress, relationships, and questions about purpose.
