About Yazmin

Yazmin Coleman is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina. She has eight years of clinical experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, or struggles with self-esteem and motivation. Yazmin also supports those facing addiction, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and life transitions.

Her work rests on a person-centered approach. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through what feels hard. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between appointments. Yazmin uses a mix of Trauma-Focused Therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, and mindfulness skills to address hard memories, unhelpful thinking patterns, and emotional regulation.

She often blends strategies from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach coping skills and from solution-focused methods to set achievable goals. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want help finding momentum for change. The overall goal is to build skills, increase self-understanding, and strengthen day-to-day functioning.

Yazmin speaks English and Spanish, and she centers the client’s goals in planning care. She emphasizes steady, practical progress rather than quick fixes. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions based on availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process distressing memories and reduce the hold they have on daily life. In practice this can mean pacing difficult material, practicing grounding and regulation skills, and building steps to feel more in control. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking, test new behaviors, and practice small changes that reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to manage stress and increase present-moment awareness.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and comfort level. That might mean emphasizing skill-building, trauma processing, or short-term problem solving depending on what a person wants to accomplish.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, or check in during a break. It can also allow for shorter touchpoint visits or longer weekly sessions depending on what works best for the person’s schedule and energy level.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing trauma-focused therapy does not mean a therapist holds a specific certification such as TF-CBT, EMDR or CPT.
