Ivette Orozco-Mayares, LICSW - Therapist in Minnesota

About Ivette

Ivette Orozco-Mayares is a licensed independent clinical social worker, LICSW, who draws on practical therapy methods to help people feeling stuck. She focuses on stress, anxiety, family concerns, low self-esteem, career challenges, and depression. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at helping clients find small, workable changes.

Ivette believes people know their own story and that therapy is a place to build on existing strengths. She encourages clients to identify values and take steps that match those values.

Background and approach

Sessions emphasize clear goals and manageable actions rather than long lists of labels. Her training includes approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. She uses tools from these approaches to address communication problems, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and feelings of isolation.

Ivette frames the work as a partnership. She listens, asks practical questions, and offers techniques clients can try between sessions. The focus is on honest conversation and steady progress toward more satisfying relationships and greater self-respect.

Located in Minnesota, she brings three years of professional experience to the work. People who want direct, compassionate support for family and life challenges will find a practical, values-minded approach.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Both approaches fit well into remote sessions because they emphasize short exercises and real-life practice that clients can try between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to try based on goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That collaborative process can include mixing elements of different approaches as needs change over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy family and work life. These options give flexibility for scheduling, let clients use techniques in real moments, and allow follow-up via brief messages when needed. Remote formats can help maintain continuity of care when life gets hectic or travel is required.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
