About Yvonne
She primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings and goals. Yvonne also incorporates mindfulness exercises to help people notice the present moment and reduce overwhelm. Solution-focused and strength-based methods guide sessions toward small, achievable changes that build momentum over time.
Clients work together with her to set clear goals and try out skills between sessions. Conversations are collaborative and grounded in what the person already does well, with attention to barriers that get in the way. The style is calm, open, and non-judgmental to help people relax and engage in the work.
Yvonne has practiced for 15 years in a range of settings, bringing that experience to issues such as trauma, chronic illness, caregiver stress, parenting concerns, and career transitions. She supports adults from young adulthood through later life and tailors interventions to each person’s situation.
First meetings focus on gathering background and clarifying goals. Yvonne explains what to expect, discusses practical next steps, and helps people begin with small, doable changes. Her aim is to help clients move toward a fuller, more manageable life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, then bring observations back to the next appointment. Licensed professionals can use a mix of goal-focused exercises, short mindfulness practices, and CBT homework that suit a person’s routine.
