Yvette Carreon

Yvette Carreon, LCSW, helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and a wide range of life changes. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. Her style aims to make therapy feel doable for someone juggling daily demands.

Yvette brings more than 25 years of experience in mental health to her work. She combines client-centered care with tools drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices. Sessions emphasize understanding what’s happening now and trying small, concrete changes that fit everyday life.

She often uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and Motivational Interviewing to help people find what matters to them. Therapy may include narrative and solution-focused techniques to build on strengths and clarify goals. The emphasis is on helpful strategies rather than labels or long explanations.

Yvette has worked with people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, and career or identity concerns. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment patterns, communication problems, and coping after loss.

People who like clear steps and a calm, steady approach may find her style useful. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. She practices in California and conducts sessions in English.

How therapeutic approaches shape remote work

Mindfulness Therapy focuses on present-moment awareness and simple practices that reduce reactivity. It can help with anxiety, stress, grief, and moments of overwhelm by teaching short exercises someone can use during the day.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person’s goals and experiences. The therapist listens closely, reflects what’s said, and helps people find their own answers rather than prescribing solutions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers clear tools for shifting unhelpful thinking and for building new habits that improve mood and coping.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Yvette will work with each person to see which methods fit their needs and preferences. Together they try techniques, review what helps, and adjust the plan as goals evolve.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel and allow sessions during a lunch break or between appointments. Before booking, confirm the available session options directly so you know which formats are offered. The focus is on making therapy practical and usable in day-to-day routines.
