About Yasmin
Dr. Yasmin Lluveras helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, parenting strain, intimacy concerns, identity questions, and challenges tied to caregiving and compassion fatigue. Dr. Lluveras has particular experience related to adoption and foster care and works with people navigating life changes related to identity, health, and culture.
She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Dr. Lluveras draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She also uses Solution-Focused ideas to set small, achievable goals and Trauma-Focused approaches when past hurts are central to current difficulties. Sessions emphasize clear steps people can try between meetings.
Dr. Lluveras respects each person's knowledge of their own life. She invites clients to name priorities and then builds a plan around those goals. Conversations are paced to match each person's comfort and need for problem-solving or deeper processing.
She holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW, in California and brings 24 years of clinical experience to her work. That experience includes supporting people through grief, career transitions, relationship ruptures, and questions around gender and sexual identity.
To begin, she encourages a simple first step: share what feels most urgent and what change would matter. From there the pair sets clear, practical goals and checks progress regularly.
How her approaches translate to online care
Dr. Lluveras uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems alive; this is useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stresses. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, practical goals and track progress in short steps. When past harm affects current life, Trauma-Focused Therapy helps process those events and reduce their daily impact.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped before. Together they choose which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when those suit a person's routine. Therapists can use the same CBT exercises, goal-setting tasks, and trauma processing tools in virtual sessions as in face-to-face work, while tailoring pacing and homework to daily life.
