About Yvonne

Yvonne Oree is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 15 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, depression, relationship strain, and related concerns. Her practice also addresses trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting challenges, career stress, and mood-related concerns.

Yvonne uses plain, direct conversation to identify what feels out of balance. She listens to what matters to each person and focuses on practical steps people can take right away. Sessions often include talking through patterns, trying small changes, and checking what works in day-to-day life.

Her style draws on client-centered work and solution-focused strategies. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness tools to notice unhelpful thoughts and practice different responses. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when people want to change habits related to substance use or other compulsive behaviors.

Yvonne has experience helping people affected by domestic violence, process addictions, drug and alcohol issues, and women's concerns. She combines straightforward feedback with respect for each person’s pace. That can mean setting short-term goals, building coping skills, or addressing deeper trauma when needed.

Her approach emphasizes concrete skills over jargon. People who want down-to-earth tools for managing anger, cravings, mood swings, or work and family stress may find her practical style helpful.

How sessions work

Approaches used in online work and practical benefits

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experience. The therapist listens, reflects what is said, and helps the client identify the next practical step. This approach helps when someone feels stuck and wants straightforward support to change how they respond to anger or stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It teaches concrete skills to notice unhelpful thinking and try different actions. This is useful for anxiety, anger, low mood, and many coping challenges.

Mindfulness practice helps people notice urges, bodily tension, and automatic reactions without acting on them immediately. Short exercises teach how to pause and choose a different response to frustration or cravings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That may mean starting with practical CBT skills, using motivational interviewing for substance concerns, or practicing mindfulness between sessions.

Confirm the available session formats before booking because the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow for brief check-ins during a work break, reduce travel time, or let someone choose audio-only when bandwidth is limited. The therapist will help plan sessions so they work with the client’s routine rather than disrupt it.
