About Yvette
Yvette Carreon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 25 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, anger, depression, and other life changes. Sessions are practical and focused on finding better ways to cope with day-to-day pressure.
She combines elements from different approaches to match what each person needs. That can mean using cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts, DBT skills for managing intense emotions, or motivational interviewing to clarify goals. Mindfulness exercises and narrative techniques also appear when they fit a person's situation.
Yvette aims for straightforward, usable strategies rather than theory. Conversations look at what is getting in the way of someone’s goals and then try specific steps to change patterns. She emphasizes skills people can use between sessions to handle triggers and reduce reactivity.
Her background includes long-term clinical work in community mental health settings and private practice. Over time she has focused on trauma-informed care, strengths-based work, and practical safety planning when needed. This experience informs how she blends methods to address complex concerns like anger, trauma, and caregiving stress.
People who choose her often want a mix of talking and skill-building. The work is collaborative; clients and Yvette set goals together and track progress with concrete practices. Prospective clients in California are invited to learn more about how her approach might fit their situation.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Yvette commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in practical ways during sessions. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that escalate anger, useful for stress, anxiety, and mood challenges. DBT provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can reduce outbursts and build steadier responses.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions collaborative and goal-focused. That means she works with clients to set clear aims and adjusts methods if something is not helping. Deciding which approach to emphasize is a shared process based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences.
Confirm the precise online session formats before booking, as they are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or caregiving, shorten commutes, and allow for focused skill practice between meetings. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt DBT and CBT exercises for remote work so clients can try grounding practices, thought records, and skill rehearsals in everyday life.
