About Yvonne

Yvonne Oree is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside a broad range of emotional and behavioral issues. She aims to help people untangle stressful patterns and find practical ways to feel steadier at home.

Her tone in sessions is direct yet respectful, and she works to create a supportive space for figuring out next steps. Yvonne brings 15 years of experience to her work and draws on straightforward, evidence-informed methods.

Background and approach

She prefers a client-centered, strength-based approach that meets each person where they are. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help shift thoughts and daily habits. Her background includes work with addiction, trauma and mood-related concerns.

She has also addressed grief, intimacy issues, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and women’s issues. Yvonne has experience helping people develop healthier coping skills and improve communication within families. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented.

She often blends motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to set clear, achievable steps. The intent is to leave people with tools they can use between sessions to manage stress, mood, or addictive patterns. Yvonne holds North Carolina licensure as an LCSW, NC LCSW C012014, and carries Virginia licensure as VA LCSW 0904016111.

She conducts work in English and does not accept international clients. Her style is straightforward, compassionate, and aimed at helping families create more manageable routines and relationships.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person’s needs without judgment. It helps people feel heard and supported while they figure out what changes matter most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and create new routines, which can help with anxiety, depression, and some patterns linked to addiction.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. These skills can be used when stress or strong emotions arise at home.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist work together to find practical steps that fit daily life.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. That variety makes it easier to fit sessions around school, work, or childcare. It also lets people use techniques from CBT and mindfulness in the moments they need them, and to check in between live meetings when helpful.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
