About Yvette

Yvette Lanausse, LCSW helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and major life transitions. She works with adults coping with chronic pain, medical diagnosis changes, and issues related to gender and sexual identity. Her style is direct and practical, focused on helping people notice what they think and how it affects day-to-day life.

Yvette blends a mind-body perspective with evidence-informed methods. She invites clients to notice thoughts and habits and then gently test new ways of thinking and acting. Sessions often include short exercises, reflection, and concrete strategies people can practice between meetings.

She trained at the University of Southern California with a Master of Social Work and holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential in California. Yvette completed 3,500 supervised clinical hours prior to licensure and follows the ethical standards of the National Association of Social Workers.

Yvette draws from client-centered conversation, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness practices, psychodynamic reflection, and solution-focused steps. That mix helps when addressing mood disorders, trauma, relationship challenges, or caregiving strain. She speaks English and Spanish, and works with people from diverse cultural backgrounds.

Her approach aims to be collaborative and paced to each person. She emphasizes building skills that fit daily life, such as managing low mood, reducing worry, and coping with chronic illness.

How her approaches translate to online work

Yvette uses client-centered conversation and cognitive behavioral methods to help people manage mood and anxiety. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and following what matters most to each person, which can help uncover values and motivation. Cognitive behavioral ideas focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like low mood or worry.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. She approaches this work collaboratively, asking about your goals and daily routines and then suggesting techniques to try. Together you decide which methods make the most sense and adjust them as you go.

Practical benefits of online work can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy day. Online care can reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep regular check-ins around work or caregiving commitments.
