About Yvette
Yvette Carreon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with more than 25 years in the mental health field. She helps people handle stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and the impact of trauma and abuse. Her work also addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues, career stress, caregiver burnout, and concerns faced by LGBT clients.
She combines practical methods from evidence-based approaches. That includes elements of cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, narrative work, and a client-centered stance. Sessions focus on clear, usable strategies you can try between meetings.
Yvette describes therapy as a collaborative process. She listens to what is working and what is not, and then recommends steps that fit daily life. Conversations aim to turn stuck patterns into manageable actions and to reduce overwhelming symptoms.
Her background includes long experience delivering care across many settings and working with people facing sudden life changes, chronic stress, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment struggles, blended family challenges, and aging or caregiving stresses.
People who want practical skill-building and straightforward conversation about next steps often find her approach helpful. To begin, a short questionnaire is used to match needs and then schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding a person's goals and preferences. It helps clarify what matters most and guides decisions about which tools to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete ways to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. These methods often pair well with brief homework tasks and skill practice between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through your goals, past efforts, and what feels practical for your life. Together you decide which techniques to prioritize and how quickly to move between skill-building and problem-solving work.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support steady skill practice and coaching between appointments. If you prefer particular ways of meeting, check the available session options during sign-up so scheduling fits your routine.
