About Yvonne

Yvonne Solomon is a licensed clinical mental health counselor with thirty years of experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and addiction. She meets people where they are and helps them take practical steps toward change.

Her approach tends to be straightforward and collaborative. Over three decades Yvonne has worked with a broad range of presenting problems. She uses methods that help clients plan concrete actions, change unhelpful thinking, and tap into their own motivation to improve.

Background and approach

She also brings experience addressing relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting struggles, anger, and attention-related concerns. Her clinical style blends motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral therapy. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change.

Cognitive behavioral work focuses on shifting thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress. Yvonne also uses solution-focused and trauma-focused techniques when appropriate. These methods emphasize finding workable solutions and processing difficult experiences in measured ways.

Together they offer several tools parents and families can use right away. She practices in North Carolina as an LCMHC - Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, NC LCMHC 7159. Sessions are offered in English and are available through a mix of video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to pair people and set up initial scheduling.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience and building a trusting working relationship. This approach helps people feel heard and decide what changes matter most to them.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replaces them with practical strategies. It is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, ADHD-related struggles, and many everyday stressors because it gives concrete tools to practice between sessions.

Motivational interviewing supports people who are unsure or ambivalent about change by exploring their own reasons and strengths. It pairs well with CBT when someone needs a nudge to begin using new skills.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a client’s goals and preferences, then suggest one or a combination of methods to try. Plans are adjusted over time based on what works and what feels comfortable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around parenting, work, and daily routines, and they allow follow-up and brief check-ins between full appointments.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
