About Yvonne

Yvonne King is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 18 years of clinical experience. She uses a blend of practical, relationship-focused methods to help people address stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles around intimacy and family life. Her manner is calm and direct, designed to make difficult conversations easier to have.

Yvonne draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. She also uses client-centered and mindfulness approaches to help people notice what matters and make small, steady changes.

Background and approach

The Gottman Method is part of her toolbox when relationship skills and communication need clearer structure. Her work often centers on family dynamics, parenting concerns, and the effects of trauma and grief. She pays attention to how family of origin issues, codependency, and communication problems play out in daily life.

Sessions also address self-esteem, guilt, shame, life purpose, and women's issues when those topics affect relationships and functioning. Yvonne practices in Florida and holds the credential LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, credential number FL LMFT MT2183. She offers sessions in English and does not work with international clients.

Therapy conversations can be scheduled in ways that match each person’s life and responsibilities. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She helps clients name the problems, try practical changes, and track progress.

People looking for a therapist who focuses on family and parenting themes may find her approach clear and down-to-earth.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and emotional needs, helping people change repeated reactions and feel more connected. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting each person’s own goals, creating a space where thoughts and feelings can be explored without pressure. The Gottman Method provides concrete tools for improving communication and solving recurring conflicts in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they choose methods and adjust them as therapy progresses so the approach fits the situation and the client’s values.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These formats let people schedule support around work, parenting, or other responsibilities and keep continuity when life gets busy. The variety of formats also allows for short check-ins or deeper sessions depending on what’s needed.

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.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
