About Yvette
Yvette Carreon is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and challenges around intimacy and self-worth. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping parents and adults find clearer ways to cope.
Conversations are collaborative and focused on usable tools for day-to-day life. Yvette draws from several well-established methods to shape each session. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
Dialectical behavior strategies help with strong emotions and learning specific skills for managing distress. Mindfulness exercises are taught to increase calm and present-moment focus. She also brings motivational interviewing and client-centered principles into sessions to support goals and respect each person’s pace.
The emphasis is on achievable steps that fit a busy family life and parenting responsibilities. Sessions aim to be realistic and relatable, not overly clinical. Yvette practices in California and speaks English.
She offers multiple online formats so families can connect in the way that works best for them. Fees vary with location and the service uses a cancel-anytime subscription model. If someone wants to start, they can begin by selecting the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling a time that fits their life.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Yvette often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot thought patterns that make stress and anxiety worse. CBT focuses on trying small behavior changes and testing new ways of thinking to produce different results. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy tools to teach concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving tolerance for distress.She frames the work as a team effort. Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the process, and she will help decide what fits best based on each person’s goals and preferences. Sessions are adjusted over time to match progress and changing needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their routine. These options make it easier to keep appointments around childcare, work, and other responsibilities. The focus is on flexible, practical care that connects therapeutic techniques to everyday life.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
