About Yahna
Yahna Gibson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with seven years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and adjustment to life changes. She also addresses issues related to trauma and abuse and helps people think through patterns tied to family of origin issues.
Yahna uses straightforward conversation and gentle challenge in sessions. She blends honesty and a touch of humor so discussions do not feel overwhelming. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings and clearer ways to handle everyday pressures.
Her background as a parent and grandparent informs how she talks about relationships, roles, and life stages. That perspective comes through when people bring concerns about caregiving stress, blended family problems, divorce and separation, or aging and geriatric matters. She also works with issues like commitment worries, communication difficulties, and feelings of isolation.
When people bring up patterns from their childhood or family of origin, Yahna helps them name those patterns and see where they show up now. She supports work on forgiveness, guilt or shame, and rebuilding trust in relationships affected by infidelity or control struggles. Conversations often include concrete skills for setting boundaries and managing strong emotions.
Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Missouri. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients use the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule an initial session.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Yahna works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and behavioral change. One commonly used approach helps people learn coping skills for anxiety and stress through practical strategies and short exercises aimed at reducing immediate symptoms and building tolerance for uncomfortable feelings.Another approach emphasizes recognizing and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns that stem from earlier family interactions. This helps people see how roles and expectations learned in childhood affect current relationships and choices.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Yahna collaborates with clients to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time based on what is or isn’t helpful.
