About Yssis

Yssis El is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, depression, or addiction find steadier footing. She uses clear, practical conversations to help clients notice patterns, try small changes, and build new ways of coping. Yssis writes in plain language and focuses on everyday steps people can take to feel a bit better between sessions.

Her work centers on stories and values. She uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from the problems that trouble them.

Background and approach

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) are used to clarify what matters most and to test practical skills for handling difficult thoughts and behaviors. Yssis brings five years of clinical experience as an LCSW, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and CSW.

She draws on those years to guide people through relationship strain, communication problems, caregiver stress, and challenges tied to substance use. Her approach stays grounded in the tasks people face at home, work, and in relationships rather than abstract theory. Sessions focus on the person in front of her and the changes they want to make.

Conversations include exploring family of origin issues, grief and end-of-life concerns, forgiveness, and setting boundaries around difficult relationships. She also supports people dealing with hoarding, isolation, and co-occurring mental health concerns. Yssis offers therapy in English and practices in Georgia.

She aims to make the process straightforward: talk through what matters, try manageable steps, and adjust the plan as goals shift.

Online session options

How Narrative and ACT Help in Online Therapy

Yssis uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate their identity from the problems they face. This approach looks at the stories that shape daily life and helps people rewrite harmful narratives so they can act differently. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and habit change because it focuses on action despite discomfort.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Yssis explores goals and preferences together with each person and adjusts methods as needs change. She frames therapy as a collaboration where techniques are tested and refined rather than fixed from the start.

Session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone choose video when visual cues are helpful or phone for lower bandwidth and simpler logistics. Licensed professionals can use these choices to shape a plan that fits daily life and supports steady progress.
