About Yvonne

Yvonne Oree is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 15 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma, grief, and related issues. Her practice also covers eating and sleeping problems, parenting and career strain, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Yvonne uses a direct, client-focused way of working. Sessions often focus on practical steps and clearer thinking. She leans on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods to help people reduce reactivity and improve daily coping.

Her background includes long experience in both mental health and substance use settings. She has worked with people from varied backgrounds on trauma, abuse, drug and alcohol problems, process addictions, and women’s issues. That history informs how she watches for patterns that keep anger or substance use cycling.

In sessions she aims to be straightforward and respectful. Conversations focus on skills people can try between meetings - thought work, moment-to-moment breathing, and small behavioral changes that reduce escalation. She also helps clients set boundaries and plan for triggers that commonly bring on anger.

When someone wants to change how they react under stress, she blends practical techniques with reflection on what drives those reactions. The work is collaborative: clients and Yvonne decide which strategies to use and adjust them as progress is made.

How her approaches translate to online work

Yvonne commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and collaboration, helping people name their goals and priorities. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches moment-to-moment awareness techniques that reduce reactivity and help people interrupt an escalating anger response.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will review goals, trial methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative process means techniques can shift as progress is tracked and new challenges appear.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - shorter check-ins can be scheduled during work breaks, audio-only meetings require less bandwidth, and remote meetings avoid travel time. These practical benefits help people keep continuity while trying new skills and coping strategies.
