Yvette Carreon, LCSW

Yvette Carreon, LCSW, works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and other life challenges. She writes in straightforward language and focuses on practical ways to cope. Her first aim is to help people find clearer steps forward when emotions feel overwhelming.

With more than 25 years in the mental health field, she draws on a range of approaches rather than one single method. Sessions often mix client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Motivational interviewing and mindfulness also appear in her work when they fit a person’s goals.

Yvette emphasizes practical strategies that can be used day to day. She helps people make small changes that add up, such as managing strong emotions, improving communication, or rebuilding routine after a loss. Conversations focus on what will realistically fit into each person’s life.

Her background includes long experience in evidence-based practices and trauma-informed care. She aims to translate clinical ideas into plain language and usable steps. Clients leave with clear actions to try between sessions.

Yvette practices in California and offers a straightforward intake process to match people to the right next step. She encourages prospective clients to start with a short questionnaire and a scheduling step to see if they are a good fit.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person in front of the therapist. The therapist listens closely, reflects back what they hear, and helps the client set goals that matter to them. This approach is useful for people seeking understanding and practical direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. It uses short exercises and experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It includes simple, teachable techniques for regulating feelings and handling conflict more calmly.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can access care from their usual routine. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and client-centered techniques to work well in remote sessions when that format is available.
