About Yvette

Yvette Carreon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with more than 25 years of experience in the mental health field. She blends evidence-based methods with strengths-based, client-centered care to create practical strategies for everyday challenges. Her practice integrates tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused approaches, Trauma-Informed Care, Seeking Safety, and strengths-based work to address stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship concerns, grief, and a broad range of life transitions.

Yvette emphasizes collaboration and practical application, helping people build new pathways for coping, self-discovery, and mastery rather than making therapy feel overwhelming. She offers focused support for relationship and family issues, intimacy-related concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, career and self-esteem struggles, and challenges that arise with aging or blended families. Her approach aims to translate therapeutic insight into day-to-day skills clients can use.

Couples therapy is currently full and she works with California residents only. She has limited evening availability, primarily on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights. Yvette is not accepting new clients at this time.

Integrative approaches for online therapy

Yvette draws on client-centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to tailor care to each person’s needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on the individual’s experience and priorities, creating a supportive space for self-exploration and personal growth. CBT helps people identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can be especially useful for relationship challenges, intense emotions, or trauma-related difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Yvette works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods align with a person’s goals, preferences, and life context, adjusting techniques as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access therapeutic support from home or other convenient locations. The focus remains on effective, practical care that fits each client’s routine and needs.
