About Yvette
Yvette Carreon is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions. She focuses on practical steps that feel doable. Her style is straightforward and warm, aimed at people who want tools they can use right away.
Yvette blends client-centered care with cognitive and behavioral techniques. She listens first, then helps people set small goals and practice new ways of responding.
Background and approach
Sessions often include simple skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including depression, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, and relationship struggles. She also addresses career stress, caregiving strain, compassion fatigue, and issues that touch attachment and abandonment.
Anger is one of the areas she helps people understand and manage. Over the years she has used elements from dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches. Those tools are mixed to match each person's needs rather than following a single script.
The focus is on concrete strategies that fit daily life. Sessions are offered to people located in California and are available in English. Yvette offers several online session formats so people can choose what fits their schedule.
She encourages an initial conversation to decide on goals and a plan that feels realistic.

Approaches that translate well to online work
Yvette often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy skills in sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving, which helps with anxiety, depression, and anger. DBT provides practical emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills to manage intense feelings and improve reactions.She also draws on client-centered principles, which means the therapist listens closely and shapes the plan around each person's goals. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process - she will work with clients to try methods, see what helps, and adjust the plan based on progress and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility to fit busy lives. Video calls let people see facial cues and practice skills in real time, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to stay consistent with therapy while juggling work, caregiving, or other commitments.
