About Yasha
Yasha Carpentier is a Washington-based clinician with 24 years of practice as a LICSW. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes. Her approach is down-to-earth and straightforward, aimed at making the first steps feel achievable for someone who is nervous about therapy.
She creates a calm setting where clients can talk about painful experiences like trauma, abuse, or family conflict.
How Yasha works
Conversations are meant to be honest and nonjudgmental so people can name what’s hard and start to make workable changes. She also addresses challenges such as parenting strain, caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and issues related to eating and self-esteem. Her work often includes practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to shift unhelpful thinking patterns.
Mindfulness techniques are used to help people stay grounded with strong emotions. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods support clear goals and next steps. Yasha draws on many years of experience to tailor methods to each situation.
She also offers support around cancer, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and communication problems that affect daily life. She meets clients where they are and helps them build small, realistic steps toward coping and recovery. Sessions are offered in English and conducted with attention to what each person needs.
People who want to begin can expect a collaborative conversation about goals and options for moving forward.

Online support options
Practical approaches you can use online
Yasha commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world steps to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help people stay present when emotions get intense.She also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas to help clients set realistic goals and identify small, useful changes. Finding the right approach is treated as a team effort. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video works well for more in-depth conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text is useful for brief check-ins or when typing feels simpler. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using the same therapeutic methods as in-person care.
