Yvette Watts , LCSW

Yvette Watts is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of clinical experience helping adults, couples, children, and families navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life transitions. She draws on a person-centered, strengths-based framework while integrating evidence-based therapeutic techniques to tailor care to each person's needs. Her practice emphasizes practical coping skills and collaborative planning so clients can address attachment and abandonment concerns, body image and self-esteem struggles, relationship and communication problems, and identity or sexuality questions.

Yvette blends traditional therapeutic methods with creative modalities such as art, music, and mindfulness exercises to expand options for engagement and healing. She works intentionally with issues that commonly affect midlife adults, partners facing separation or divorce, veterans, and those coping with trauma or loneliness. Clients can expect an empathetic, focused approach that highlights resilience and real-world strategies for managing impulses, building self-love, and clarifying life purpose.

Throughout treatment she partners with clients to select session styles and interventions that match their goals and preferences, adapting techniques over time to support long-term growth and wellbeing.

Evidence-Based Approaches Available Remotely

Yvette often uses a person-centered approach that focuses on understanding each person's unique experience and goals, helping clients feel heard while guiding them toward practical change. She also applies strengths-based techniques that identify and build on existing resources and abilities, which can be especially helpful for managing anxiety, improving self-esteem, and navigating life transitions. Mindfulness-based practices are incorporated as well to teach skills for reducing stress, regulating emotion, and increasing present-moment awareness.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Yvette works with clients to explore which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques over time so treatment remains effective and relevant.

Online therapy with Yvette is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and use formats that suit how a person communicates and engages in therapy.
