About Yslande
Yslande Vilsaint is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Connecticut who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, relationship and family issues, grief, trauma, and addiction. She offers a calm, welcoming space to talk through what feels overwhelming. Her approach aims to help clients build practical coping skills for day-to-day life.
Yslande brings ten years of counseling experience to sessions. She listens with attention to cultural background and personal history.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on what matters most to the person in front of her, not on labels. Her work combines client-centered support with cognitive behavioral ideas. That means she blends open listening with strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. She also draws on mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to help people notice patterns and take small steps toward improvement. Motivational interviewing is used when someone is weighing change or facing ambivalence.
These tools are chosen to match each person’s goals. Clients can expect straightforward conversation, concrete skills to try between sessions, and a focus on what works in daily life. Yslande is based in Connecticut and works with adults who want steady, practical help managing life’s challenges and strengthening relationships.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding each person's story. In practice this means the therapist offers an open, nonjudgmental space online and follows the client's concerns to set goals and priorities.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete techniques to shift patterns. Online CBT sessions can include worksheets, behavior experiments, and homework to try between meetings, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Mindfulness therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness. These exercises can be guided over video or audio and are useful for coping with overwhelming feelings and improving daily focus.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer practical flexibility. Video is helpful for full sessions and exercises that use worksheets. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief updates, scheduling, or shorter check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days while still working on meaningful change.
