What We Work Through Together
Whatever brought you here, you do not have to sort it out alone. Joselyn Vasquez, LISW-S, has been practicing since 2003 and works with clients in Stow, Akron, Hudson, Cuyahoga Falls, and across Summit County — in person or by teletherapy anywhere in Ohio, in English or Spanish.
Addiction Counseling
A place to be honest about drinking or using — without a lecture, and without having to have it figured out first. Whether the worry is your own drinking or someone you love's, you do not need a crisis to justify looking into it.
What this can look like
- Drinking that's become hard to control
- A family unsure how to bring it up
- Wondering if this counts as a problem
Anxiety Therapy
Practical CBT tools for the worry that will not switch off — at work, at 2 a.m., and in the quiet moments between. It means your nervous system is on high alert, not that something is broken in you.
What this can look like
- Worry that won't switch off
- A racing heart before ordinary moments
- Avoiding calls or events you'd normally make
Depression Therapy for Adults
When getting through the day takes everything you have, the work starts with small, workable steps — not a verdict on who you are. Functioning on the outside does not mean you do not deserve support.
What this can look like
- A flat mood that won't lift
- Losing interest in things you loved
- Fatigue that sleep doesn't fix
Grief Counseling
Room to keep talking about your loss long after everyone else has moved on — for as long as you need it. Grief rarely moves in order, and needing more support than time alone gives is nothing to judge yourself for.
What this can look like
- Grief that isn't moving in order
- Others expecting you to have moved on
- Loss that doesn't soften with time
Life Transitions Therapy
For the in-between after a move, a diagnosis, a divorce, or a promotion — when nothing is technically wrong and nothing feels right. This meets the adjustments piling up — a new schedule, a quieter house, a self not yet met.
What this can look like
- A move, a new job, a new normal
- Not sure who you are without the title
- A house gone quiet in a new way
Self-Esteem Counseling
For the voice that reads criticism into everything — where it came from, and what it has been costing you. Building self-esteem is a skill you can learn, not a personality overhaul — and not vanity or drama to want it back.
What this can look like
- Assuming the worst about how others see you
- Trouble accepting a compliment
- A small mistake feeling like a bigger flaw
Stress & Burnout Counseling
When getting through the day has quietly become the whole job — and "fine" stopped being true a while ago. Whether the load comes from work or caregiving, this looks at where it started and what to do next.
What this can look like
- Fatigue a full night's sleep doesn't fix
- A shorter temper with people you love
- Withdrawing from friends because nothing's left
Trauma & PTSD Therapy
Trauma-informed care at your pace — nothing is dragged out of you, and you decide what gets talked about. You do not need a diagnosis for your reactions to matter, or for what has not finished processing to be treatable.
What this can look like
- Flashbacks or nightmares that bring it back
- Feeling constantly on guard
- Avoiding places or people that remind you
