About &

Dr. & Mrs. Yvette Sabater-Lenk is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 30 years of experience based in Florida. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem. Sessions may be offered in English and Spanish.

Yvette uses straightforward methods to help people manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. She draws on client-centered work to listen and clarify priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools are used to teach emotion regulation and coping skills people can practice between sessions.

Her practice also addresses longer-standing issues like abandonment, commitment worries, avoidant personality features, and blended family stress. She supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiving strain, cancer, and age-related concerns. Communication problems and body image questions are also within her focus.

Yvette has experience with adoption and foster care topics, developmental disability concerns including autism, and the overlap of multiple diagnoses. She works with people who face complex, co-occurring problems and helps them prioritize what to tackle first. The approach is practical and skill-focused.

People who choose her often want concrete strategies for managing emotions, clearer communication habits, and steady routines to improve daily life. To begin, clients use the site matching process to schedule an initial session and discuss goals and next steps.

BHow sessions work

Approaches used in online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the person. It helps clarify priorities and guides what to work on first. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal skills that help with anger, relationship conflict, and intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your goals, symptoms and preferences and then suggest which approaches to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as you make progress or encounter new challenges.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school and caregiving responsibilities. They also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and options that do not require being on camera if someone prefers audio only. Discuss format and scheduling during the initial match so sessions align with daily life and goals.
