About Yvette

Yvette Carreon is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 25 years in the mental health field. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, and major life changes. Yvette uses straightforward talk and practical steps so people can start feeling a difference in day-to-day life.

Yvette blends elements from several therapeutic approaches to match a person's needs. She draws on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Her work often includes skills from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to help with emotional regulation and staying present. Motivational interviewing also appears in sessions when people need to clarify goals and find reasons to change. The focus is on workable tools that fit into busy lives.

Sessions emphasize clear collaboration: together they set goals and test strategies that can be practiced between meetings. She describes therapy as a practical process rather than something intimidating, and aims to make progress feel achievable. Yvette works with people in California and brings long experience to careful, step-by-step planning.

If someone wants to begin, the first step is a short intake and a conversation to see what approach feels right. From there she helps create a plan that addresses immediate concerns and builds toward longer-term coping and self-understanding.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

Approaches that guide online work

Yvette often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of feeling better, which can help with depression, anxiety, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches concrete skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships.

She also uses a client-centered stance, which means sessions follow what matters most to the person. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Together they will review goals, try methods, and adjust what isn’t helping until a useful plan emerges.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, such as fitting a shorter check-in during a lunch break, avoiding commute time, or choosing a session type that needs less bandwidth. Many people find that practicing skills between sessions and reviewing progress with a licensed professional helps transfer what is learned into everyday routines.
