Yvette Carreon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 25 years in the mental health field. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, and self esteem concerns. Her manner is straightforward and practical, aimed at finding tools that fit into daily life.
Yvette blends several therapeutic ideas to meet each person's needs. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and follow the client's lead. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns and try small experiments that change thoughts and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when those skills are helpful.
Sessions tend to focus on concrete steps people can use between meetings. She talks through coping strategies, communication changes, and ways to build stronger routines. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes, with room to adjust as life changes.
Her background includes work with trauma, caregiving stress, and compassion fatigue, alongside areas like career transition and intimacy-related issues. Yvette also supports people navigating complicated family dynamics and identity-related stress.
Yvette practices in California and conducts sessions in English. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking so they know which formats are available at the time.
How these therapy approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's goals. In practice this means the therapist reflects what matters most to the client and helps them set practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on how thoughts and actions interact; it uses short experiments and skill practice to change unhelpful patterns and is useful for anxiety, low mood, and self esteem challenges.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that fit the person's needs and preferences. If something isn't working, adjustments are made together so treatment stays useful and relevant.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Online work can also make it easier to practice skills between meetings and to bring real-life situations into session discussion.
