About Yvette
Yvette Carreon is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in California with 25 years of experience in the mental health field. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, self-esteem struggles, career concerns, and related life changes. Sessions are described as practical and focused on coping for everyday life.
Her work draws from several evidence-informed approaches. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help people recognize and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance when emotions feel overwhelming.
Yvette also uses Client-Centered Therapy principles, keeping the focus on the person’s goals and perspectives. Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolkit for people who want help finding motivation for change. Mindfulness methods are used to increase present-moment awareness and manage reactivity.
Her stated aim is practical: to identify concrete strategies that fit daily life. Sessions emphasize applicable tools rather than abstract discussion. She invites collaboration to create step-by-step plans for coping, communication, and managing anger or strong emotions.
Yvette practices in California and offers services in English. The biography notes an integration of different modalities and a focus on real-world application. Prospective clients are asked to use the site’s matching and scheduling tools to begin the intake process.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s goals and experiences, offering space to set priorities and decide what matters most. This approach helps people who need practical, goal-oriented work on anger, relationships, or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Online sessions can use worksheets, real-life experiments, and short skills practice to reduce reactivity and change patterns that fuel anger.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. In remote sessions these skills are taught and rehearsed so clients can try them between meetings and report back on what worked.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to emphasize based on their goals, day-to-day demands, and what they want to practice. That process can change as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Those practical benefits help people practice skills regularly and apply them to real situations.
