Yanitza Quiles , LICSW

Yanitza Quiles is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) based in Massachusetts who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship or intimacy issues. She also supports people facing career shifts, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and the strain of caregiving. Yanitza is bilingual in English and Spanish and includes multicultural awareness in her work.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She treats clients as partners and looks for practical steps people can try between sessions. She uses short, focused conversations to identify what is working and what needs to change.

Yanitza draws on client-centered methods to follow each person's priorities. She blends mindfulness exercises and solution-focused strategies to help people find small, doable changes. Somatic techniques are used when body-based tracking helps release tension linked to trauma.

With 17 years of experience, she has supported people through life transitions, postpartum and pregnancy-related challenges, loss and end-of-life concerns, and issues tied to prejudice or multicultural stress. Her background includes work with blended family dynamics and elder caregiving stress.

Sessions are offered by phone, video, live chat, or text messaging to match different schedules and needs. People in Massachusetts can connect in English or Spanish to talk through their goals and plan next steps.

Approaches you can use in online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following each person's goals. The therapist mirrors concerns back, helps clarify priorities, and supports people to find their own solutions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple exercises to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgment and can help with anxiety, stress, and mood regulation.

Motivational interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings about change and build motivation for steps they want to try. It suits challenges like shifting habits, career moves, or managing health routines. Yanitza will work together with clients to pick approaches that fit their goals, mixing methods as needed and adjusting over time based on what helps most.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or moments when typing feels easier. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, shorter or longer check-ins, and ongoing support between sessions.
