About Yvette
Yvette Dehn is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Maryland with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on easing stress, anxiety, and depression while helping people build motivation and self-esteem. Yvette also offers support for life transitions and practical guidance around family and parenting concerns.
Her work blends straightforward, practical methods with attention to meaning and values. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, alongside client-centered listening, to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding.
Background and approach
Emotionally-Focused and Imago approaches inform her work with relationships and communication issues. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to each person. Yvette encourages clients to notice what already works for them and to try small changes that feel manageable.
She respects different belief systems and incorporates personal values into the work when it matters to the client. Her background includes long-term practice supporting people through depression, coping with illness, caregiver stress, attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family challenges, and other complex life situations. She brings experience addressing both emotional and practical aspects of these problems.
In sessions clients can expect clear goals, concrete strategies, and time to process feelings. Yvette combines talking, practical exercises, and reflection to build skills for everyday life. Her approach is aimed at steady, realistic progress rather than quick fixes.
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on respectful listening and helping people draw on their own strengths to solve problems; it is useful when someone needs a supportive space to sort out feelings and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses simple exercises to shift patterns that cause distress; it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and changing core emotional responses, which can improve how people relate and communicate with others.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan together as work progresses. That collaborative process helps tailor the mix of strategies to what feels most useful for each person.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls provide face-to-face interaction from home, phone sessions work when video isn’t possible, and live chat or text-based messaging can support brief check-ins and on-the-go reflection. These options make it easier to fit consistent work into a busy life and maintain momentum between sessions.
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.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
