Yanely Grullon, LPC, LMHC

Yanely Grullon is a licensed professional counselor who brings 11 years of clinical experience to her work. She holds LPC and LMHC credentials and practices in New York. She speaks English and Spanish and often helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes.

Yanely uses a blend of approaches that center on the person's strengths and practical steps. She draws from client-centered work, solution-focused ideas, and cognitive behavioral methods. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on small, achievable changes.

Her background includes work with immigrant and refugee communities, students and early-career professionals, and people of color. She has supported people through trauma, acculturation and family conflict, as well as challenges like substance use, grief, and career stress. This range informs a flexible way of working that adapts to each person's situation.

In sessions she aims to be empathic and nonjudgmental. She helps clients recognize strengths and build on them. Together they clarify priorities and try practical strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Clients often address relationship concerns, parenting strain, body image, sleep and eating issues, feelings of isolation, and caregiver stress. Yanely encourages collaborative planning so people leave sessions with concrete next steps and clearer options.

How her approaches adapt to online work

Yanely commonly uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy in her practice. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can decide what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, mood, sleep and coping.

She also uses solution-focused ideas that emphasize small, concrete goals and steps. These approaches fit well with short-term goals like improving sleep or managing stress, and they pair with collaborative planning so the client and therapist choose what to try next together.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Yanely will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend strategies to try. The plan is reviewed and adjusted as needed so work stays relevant to the client’s life.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy schedule, allow brief check-ins that take less time, or remove the need to travel. Licensed professionals can use these conveniences to help people maintain steady progress while balancing caregiving and daily responsibilities.
