01About Yasmeen
Yasmeen Fontenot is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, and relationship concerns. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her language is straightforward and she aims to make sessions feel manageable for someone juggling a busy life.
Yasmeen places a strong focus on communication skills. She helps people notice patterns that cause conflict and then practices new ways of speaking and setting boundaries.
Background and approach
She also works on control issues and self-love, helping clients replace harsh self-talk with kinder, more realistic thinking. Social anxiety and phobia are areas she pays special attention to. Yasmeen breaks down social situations into small, doable steps and helps clients build confidence through repeated practice.
For trauma and abuse, she provides steady support and helps people find coping tools that feel safe and tolerable. Sessions are practical and collaborative. Yasmeen listens first, then outlines simple strategies a person can try between sessions.
She emphasizes skills people can use at home, at work, or when they notice old patterns returning. With three years of experience as an LPC, she combines respect for each person's story with encouragement to try new approaches. Her work aims to help people feel more in control, communicate more clearly, and move toward increased self-compassion and stability.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Yasmeen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional safety. One approach she uses helps people learn communication skills and manage relationship conflict by identifying unhelpful patterns and practicing clearer ways to speak and set boundaries. Another common technique breaks down social anxiety into small, manageable steps - people gradually face feared situations while learning coping strategies to reduce distress and build confidence.Choosing the right approach is part of the work and is done together. Yasmeen discusses options with each person, considers their goals and preferences, and adjusts methods as needed so the plan fits the person's life and pace.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and text messaging can support quick check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options aim to make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while keeping the focus on progress and practical tools.
