About Ylan
Ylan Hunt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 10 years of professional experience. She works with people who are carrying trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, career struggles, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses related concerns such as guilt and shame, forgiveness, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and issues faced by veterans and first responders.
Her style is straightforward and respectful. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and points out strengths they already have. In sessions she talks through what feels stuck, helps identify practical steps, and supports people as they try different ways of responding to painful feelings.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and patterns that keep people feeling overwhelmed. That work often includes slowing things down to notice habits, practicing different responses to old triggers, and revisiting hurtful events in a manageable way. She helps people untangle guilt and shame from what actually happened and what they want now.
Ylan draws on a decade of experience across clinical settings. She has worked with people facing grief, trauma, chronic health challenges, addiction, and end-of-life issues. That background informs how she balances direct, goal-focused work with attention to how difficult feelings show up in daily life.
If someone wants to start, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location.
Evidence-based techniques and how they work online
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach is guided processing of difficult memories, where the therapist helps a person revisit painful events in a controlled way so the emotion around them can lessen and new responses can be learned. This approach can be useful for trauma, grief, and persistent guilt.Another common technique is skills-based practice to change unhelpful patterns. That involves naming automatic thoughts and behaviors, trying new responses in small steps, and tracking what works in daily life. This helps with low self-esteem, career struggles, and compassion fatigue.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will look at the client’s needs, goals, and preferences and recommend techniques that fit. That choice is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving, or medical care. Some formats are better for shorter check-ins, others for full therapeutic work, and certain options use less bandwidth or do not require being on camera. Ask about available session types when scheduling to pick what will fit into everyday life.
