What Yulia says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

Welcome to BetterHelp! My name is Yulia and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida with 12 years of experience in a mental health field. For the past 4 years I have been providing counseling exclusively in the online settings. I believe that for every problem there is a solution and the main goal is to find the right solution for you. The majority of my experience has been working with clients with mood disorders, such as depression and anxiety, as well as relationship issues, life changes and adjustment issues. Mostly utilized approaches in my practice are CBT-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, where we can explore how our thinking, feelings and actions are interconnected and affect each other; Solution Focused Approach is used when clients present a very specific problem that needs a specific solution, so the main focus of our therapy sessions will be exploring all options and possibilities and generating the best possible solution to your current concern. For some of my clients who suffer from a long term depression and a loss of meaning and motivation in life, I suggest we “dive a little deeper” and apply Existential psychotherapy approach. Existential approach has proven to be the most suitable when it comes to finding the meaning of life; this is when we are exploring and looking closely at the individual purpose of life and helping clients to create meaningful experiences in life and foster meaningful relationships. During sessions, you can expect compassion and understanding, it is my goal to provide a safe space that is gentle, collaborative, and direct in order to help you better understand and find a solution to current or long-standing challenges. I look forward to supporting and guiding you on your journey to improved mental health and your overall life.

I am available for an audio phone sessions. If my current schedule doesn’t reflect desired time/days, please send me a message and we can make necessary arrangements. I’m very flexible with appointments and I’m sure I will be able to accommodate your specific time/days requests.

03 · How Yulia works

The 2 approaches Yulia lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Yulia lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Yulia's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Yulia runs a session.

Client-Centred TherapyPerson-centred · Rogerian

The therapist does not steer toward a technique or a diagnosis. They offer sustained, non-judgemental attention and reflect back what they hear, on the premise that people find their own direction when they are genuinely listened to. Often what people mean by “someone who just gets it”.

Cognitive Behavioural TherapyCBT

Structured, present-focused work on the loop between what you think, how you feel and what you then do. Usually means noticing a thought pattern in the room, testing it against evidence, and practising something different between sessions. Among the most heavily researched talking therapies for depression and anxiety.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Yulia practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Yulia's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Yulia at this point.

2. Naming Yulia specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Yulia is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Yulia.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Before you commit

3 questions worth asking Yulia

Built from what Yulia actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Yulia's - Yulia has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “You list both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Which do you lean on with someone like me?”

  Those two point in different directions - one structured and led by the therapist, the other led by you. The answer tells you what the sessions will actually feel like.

• “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

  Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

07 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Yulia's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 10 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Yulia. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
