About &
Dr. & Mrs. Yvette Sabater-Lenk helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, or depression.
She is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience in Florida. Her manner is direct and caring, and she aims to make sessions feel practical and achievable for everyday life. Her work often focuses on relationship problems, trauma and abuse, anger, and emotional regulation.
She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care concerns, aging and caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and body image difficulties.
Background and approach
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Therapy sessions include learning coping skills, practicing emotion regulation, and working on communication and problem-solving. She draws on approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior strategies, emotionally-focused ideas, and elements of the Gottman method to address relational issues.
Over three decades she has worked with people facing developmental and behavioral challenges, mood and personality concerns, and complex life stressors. That experience informs a flexible, individualized style rather than a one-size-fits-all program. Her goal is to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people feel heard and can try new ways of managing problems.
She involves caregivers or support people when it helps the client’s progress, and she adjusts methods to fit each person's needs and preferences.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience without judgment. In online sessions this means the therapist prioritizes what matters most to the client and follows their pace to build trust and clarity.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches clear skills to change unhelpful patterns. It works well for anxiety, depression, and stress because clients can try small behavioral or thinking changes between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It is useful when strong emotions or relationship patterns get in the way of daily life and includes practical skill practice.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. That collaborative process may blend elements from different approaches over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging allows brief check-ins or skill coaching between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work consistently from different locations.
