About Yuridia
Yuridia (Valerie) Polonsky is a Florida LCSW with 15 years of clinical experience supporting adults through stress, anxiety, depression, life changes, and relationship concerns. She sees people who also want help with parenting, intimacy questions, addiction issues, ADHD, and blended family concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Yuridia focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. She listens for how daily routines, thinking patterns, and attachment history shape current problems. Conversations often center on improving communication, managing strong emotions, and setting clearer boundaries at home and work.
Her style blends cognitive behavioral tools with acceptance and commitment ideas. That means clients learn to notice unhelpful thoughts, try small behavior changes, and decide what matters most to them. She also draws on attachment-based work to look at how past relationships affect trust and closeness now.
Clients can expect straightforward, goal-focused talks that bring in skills such as emotion regulation and mindful noticing. Yuridia often supports people dealing with grief, caregiving stress, codependency, and commitment worries. She also helps with sleep problems and anger management when those issues come up.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify personal values and take small actions aligned with those values while learning to tolerate difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines. That approach is often used for stress, sleep problems, and mood concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. They will then try strategies and adjust them based on what fits the client's needs and schedule. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow regular check-ins during work breaks or between commitments. The profile notes that sessions are arranged through the site; confirm the specific session formats offered before booking. Practical benefits include being able to practice skills between meetings and bring immediate life examples into conversation.
