Yvette Lanausse

Yvette Lanausse is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. She also supports people facing chronic pain, caregiver strain, LGBT and gender-related concerns, addiction, relationship and intimacy questions, and career or self-esteem challenges. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and she practices from California.

Yvette draws on mindfulness as a core part of her work. She blends mindfulness with cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try small changes. She also uses client-centered listening and psychodynamic ideas to understand patterns that show up again and again.

Her approach is practical and down-to-earth. People can expect to talk about what is happening now and try brief, doable techniques between sessions. She pays attention to how the mind and body interact and offers tools for stress, pain management, and emotional regulation.

Yvette completed a Master of Social Work at the University of Southern California. She holds the LCSW credential, which reflects graduate training and supervised clinical hours in California. She follows professional ethics and a trauma-informed framework in her work.

She has about three years of clinical experience working with trauma, chronic illness, medical adjustment, anxiety, and depression. Yvette aims to create a calm, steady space where people can start making small changes and build coping skills over time.

How mindfulness and practical therapies translate online

Mindfulness-based approaches help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without immediate reaction. In practice this means short grounding exercises, breath work, and learning to observe stress responses so they lose some of their power. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavior changes to improve mood and reduce anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and day-to-day life. That choice can shift over time as progress is made or new issues emerge.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, remove travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills in everyday settings and bring examples from home or work into the session. Licensed professionals can adapt mindfulness and CBT exercises to the online setting so clients can build skills between visits.
