Yessenia Aponte

Yessenia Aponte

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


Growing up in the Bronx as a first-generation Dominican American shaped how I think about mental health — and who I became as a therapist.

I'm Yesenia Aponte, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist. I've spent 8 years working with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and the specific weight of living between cultures. I work with clients from all backgrounds, but I have a particular connection to clients from immigrant families, Latinx communities, and anyone who's ever felt like a therapist didn't fully understand their world.

I got into this work because mental health support wasn't always visible or accessible in communities like the one I grew up in. Beyond my practice, I'm involved in community outreach and advocacy to make mental health less stigmatized and more reachable — especially for people who've been told it's not "for them."

I also offer therapy in both English and Spanish.

Hi, I’m Keshia Trammell, welcome to my practice!

I believe that meaningful change begins with a single conversation. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, self-esteem concerns, or simply feeling overwhelmed, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion and practical guidance.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs. I draw from evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Strengths-Based Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and person-centered techniques to help you develop healthier coping skills, build resilience, and create lasting change.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am passionate about helping individuals recognize their strengths, overcome obstacles, and move toward the life they envision. I believe therapy is not about having all the answers—it’s about having someone who will listen, challenge you when appropriate, support your growth, and celebrate your progress.

Every session is an opportunity to take another step toward healing. You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward greater confidence, balance, and emotional well-being.
