About Yaren
Yaren Ravel is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She brings seven years of clinical experience and speaks English and Spanish. Yaren focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain.
She works directly on issues related to trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and motivation. Many clients also seek her help for panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and feelings of isolation. Yaren addresses specific concerns like abandonment, attachment struggles, and caregiver stress in practical sessions.
How Yaren works
Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions are a place to talk honestly about what feels hard and to try realistic steps forward. She emphasizes improving communication, handling control and impulse problems, and rebuilding self-love after painful experiences.
Yaren supports people dealing with divorce, separation, guilt, and forgiveness work. Financial stress and questions about life purpose are also common topics she helps sort through. Her style aims to make difficult feelings easier to understand and manage.
She offers help in both English and Spanish and accepts international clients. Therapy sessions can be scheduled in a format that fits a person's life and needs, and she guides each person through those options.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life
Yaren uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical ways. One approach focuses on understanding and reducing anxiety and panic by identifying triggers, learning calming strategies, and practicing new responses. Another common focus is trauma-informed work, which helps people process painful events at a pace that feels manageable and rebuild confidence and safety in daily life.Choosing the best approach is a shared process. She works with each person to figure out which techniques match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Over early sessions she adapts methods and tools so the work feels useful and relevant to what someone hopes to change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text-based messaging works well for shorter updates or ongoing support. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between sessions.
