About Yvette

Yvette Huddleston is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports those navigating family-related struggles and trauma and abuse. Her style is calm and down-to-earth, aimed at helping someone take small, practical steps toward feeling better.

Yvette listens first. She treats people as the experts on their own lives and builds on existing strengths. Sessions are nonjudgmental and focused on what a person needs right now.

Background and approach

She uses clear language and steady support to make work together feel manageable. Her approach draws from several methods that prioritize action and emotional connection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thoughts and behaviors that keep someone stuck.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages living according to values while accepting difficult feelings. Yvette’s license is LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

She practices from Mississippi and conducts sessions in English. Her background includes three years of professional experience, and she often addresses issues such as abandonment, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, divorce and separation, and fatherhood issues. People who choose to work with her can expect practical tools, steady listening, and help setting small goals.

Her aim is to support change that fits each person’s life and priorities.

Approaches for online family and personal work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice and make room for difficult feelings while taking steps toward what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and when someone wants clearer direction in their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns that feed stress or depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on identifying core emotions and improving emotional connection, which can help with intimacy and relationship tension.

Deciding which method to use is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and what feels most comfortable. That way approach and pace are chosen collaboratively and adjusted as needed.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These formats allow people to schedule around work, caregiving, and daily life. They also make it easier to keep momentum between sessions with brief messages or chat when appropriate.

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.

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.
