Araseli Hernandez , LCSW

Araseli Hernandez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with five years of professional experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life transitions, and she works collaboratively to strengthen motivation, confidence, and self-esteem. Her practice also addresses body image concerns, communication difficulties, isolation and loneliness, social anxiety and phobia, and questions about life purpose and self-love.

She creates an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can explore thoughts and emotions at their own pace. Using evidence-based therapeutic techniques, she helps clients develop practical coping skills for grief and loss, build tools to manage anxiety and stress, and cultivate greater self-compassion and resilience when navigating change. Araseli emphasizes realistic, actionable steps alongside emotional processing so clients can see meaningful progress over time.

Recognizing that starting therapy takes courage, she honors that first step and aims to make the process approachable and respectful. Araseli provides support in both English and Spanish and focuses on tailoring care to each person’s goals and circumstances to foster sustainable growth and well-being.

Evidence-based approaches for online therapy

Araseli Hernandez works with a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical skills and emotional processing. She uses skills-based strategies to help manage stress and anxiety, teaching tools for calming the body, challenging unhelpful thoughts, and improving day-to-day coping. She offers grief-focused support that helps individuals make sense of loss while developing routines and practices to move forward. She also emphasizes self-esteem and coping work for life changes, helping clients build confidence, set realistic goals, and improve communication in relationships.

Finding the right combination of techniques is part of the therapeutic process. Araseli approaches this work collaboratively, listening to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences and adjusting strategies so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach.

Online therapy with Araseli is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, allow sessions to fit daily routines, and make it easier to access care from home or work. The variety of formats also lets clients choose the way of communicating that feels most comfortable for them while working with a licensed professional.
