About Yahaira
Yahaira Brown is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 19 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, and life changes. She also focuses on guilt and shame and mood disorders and sees people in Oklahoma. Yahaira speaks English and Spanish.
Her approach starts with clear, direct conversation. She helps people talk through fears, strengths, and past experiences to notice how those things shape current choices. Sessions aim to bring clarity so clients can consider different ways forward. The tone is practical and straightforward rather than theoretical.
Yahaira commonly uses Internal Family Systems ideas to help people notice conflicting parts of themselves that keep guilt or shame alive. She invites people to slow down and describe the inner voices and feelings that show up in stressful moments. That detail then becomes the basis for small, manageable shifts in how someone responds to difficult feelings.
She encourages steady, realistic change rather than quick fixes. Work in sessions can include naming painful memories, tracking patterns in relationships, and practicing small behavioral experiments between meetings. Progress is measured in concrete steps clients can see and decide about.
People who carry guilt about something they did or didn’t do, or who feel ashamed of who they are, often come with practical goals. Yahaira helps them break those goals into clear next steps and reviews progress together in follow-up meetings.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Internal Family Systems is used to help people separate different inner parts and see how those parts hold guilt, shame, or painful memories. In practice this means slowing down in a session to name those parts, notice their beliefs, and practice responding to them differently. This method can help with trauma responses, persistent shame, and patterns in relationships.Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and comfort. That conversation includes trying a method, reviewing how it feels, and adjusting the plan together.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, meetings without commuting, or sessions that do not require being on camera when bandwidth is an issue. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent alongside family, work, and other responsibilities.
