Background and approach
Her background includes helping people navigate body image concerns, cancer-related stress, and caregiver strain. Her clinical toolkit includes cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thinking, dialectical behavior techniques for managing intense emotions, mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness, and EMDR-informed approaches for processing distressing memories. Sessions are grounded in collaboration and respect for each person’s goals.
Yvonne has served in clinical leadership roles, including team lead and clinical manager responsibilities over recent years. That experience shaped her focus on clear communication and practical planning during sessions. She speaks English and Spanish and offers multiple online session formats to fit busy schedules.
Starting therapy with Yvonne typically involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits the client’s timing. She aims to help people build tools they can use between sessions and to support steady progress toward their goals.
How therapeutic approaches work in online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. The therapist creates space for people to tell their story and identifies what matters most to them, which helps set practical goals and next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it teaches specific strategies to change thinking patterns and cope with daily challenges.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills are often used when emotions feel overwhelming and people want tools to manage reactions and improve relationships.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss symptoms, goals, and preferences to choose methods that feel helpful. Plans can be adjusted over time as needs change so therapy stays focused and practical.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is good for face-to-face interaction and skill practice, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text can be useful for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy routines and keep continuity of care across schedules.
