Yvonne Copeland, LICSW

Yvonne Copeland is an AL LICSW with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults across the lifespan in Alabama who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship and family concerns, and other life changes including blended family issues.

She centers sessions on practical problem solving and clear conversation. Yvonne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to test new behaviors. She pairs that with mindfulness practices to help people notice and tolerate difficult feelings in the moment.

Her approach also draws on solution-focused and motivational interviewing techniques. That means sessions often look for small, achievable steps and build on existing strengths rather than waiting for big shifts. Clients can expect concrete tools and brief experiments to try between meetings.

Intake conversations cover current concerns, history, and relationships that matter to the person. Yvonne asks about goals and together they outline a plan patients can follow. Sessions are described in straightforward, calm terms and aim to reduce barriers to doing the work.

She has worked in a range of settings over her career, which informs a practical style when addressing issues such as parenting stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness, addiction concerns, and transitions like separation or divorce. The focus remains on helping individuals set goals and make steady progress.
