About Yvette
Yvette Carreon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 25 years of experience in mental health. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, and issues tied to identity and intimacy. She also works on career concerns, compassion fatigue, and adjustment to major life changes.
Her way of working mixes practical strategies with an open, person-focused method. She uses parts of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside Client-Centered and Motivational Interviewing ideas. Sessions focus on clear steps you can try between meetings and on building skills for day-to-day situations.
Yvette often addresses problems that come up in blended households, such as loyalty conflicts, role confusion, and reorganizing routines. She also supports people facing abandonment issues, attachment struggles, codependency, and post-separation concerns. Conversations move toward measurable coping skills and clearer communication habits.
Expect direct, short-term tools plus space to talk about longer patterns. She encourages collaborative planning so goals are realistic and fit regular life demands. Clients leave with specific techniques for emotion regulation, communication, and problem-solving.
Yvette practices in California and offers services in English. Before scheduling, confirm which session formats are currently offered to make sure they fit your needs.
How her approaches translate to online work
Yvette draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside Client-Centered methods. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments, which helps with anxiety, depression, and problem-solving in daily life. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication skills useful for strong emotions and interpersonal conflict. Client-Centered work prioritizes the client's perspective and collaborative goal-setting so plans match the person's reality.Deciding which approach to use is part of the first sessions. She will work together with the client to pick methods that fit the person’s needs and goals. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize skills training, thought-focused work, or paced emotional regulation practice.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let clients practice new communication skills between sessions in everyday settings.
