About Yanitza

Yanitza Quiles is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) with 17 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, mood disorders, relationship and family concerns, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She brings a strengths-based, multicultural perspective and works bilingually in English and Spanish, aiming to meet clients where they are and honor the cultural contexts that shape their lives. Her style is collaborative and respectful, emphasizing the client’s own resilience while offering guidance and structure when clients feel stuck.

Yanitza integrates client-centered practices with mindfulness and somatic techniques to address both emotional patterns and body-based responses to stress and trauma. She also uses solution-focused and motivational strategies to support practical problem solving around career, intimacy, and life transitions.

Outside of clinical work she balances a busy life as a mother and enjoys CrossFit and listening to audiobooks and true-crime podcasts. She welcomes people seeking support for compassion fatigue, caregiving stress, postpartum concerns, and other life changes, and aims to partner with each person to create realistic steps toward meaningful change.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Yanitza frequently draws on client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients' perspectives and goals direct the work. This approach helps when people need a supportive collaborator to explore values, identity, and relationship concerns. She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach present-moment awareness and emotion regulation skills that can reduce anxiety and improve coping with stress.

Motivational interviewing is another tool she employs to strengthen motivation for change and clarify personal goals, particularly useful for career shifts, health behavior changes, or when someone feels stuck. These approaches are offered with attention to cultural context and the client's own priorities, and the therapist partners with clients to determine which methods feel most helpful and appropriate.

Online therapy with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or mobility constraints. Such formats make it easier to maintain continuity across life transitions and to practice skills between meetings, while allowing licensed professionals to tailor pace and methods to each client's needs.
