Background and approach

She aims to teach coping skills that make daily life easier and more manageable. Her focus also includes relationship-related concerns such as communication problems, divorce and separation, and intimacy issues.

Additional topics she works on include abandonment and attachment issues, body image, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, midlife crisis, multicultural concerns, veteran and armed forces issues, post-traumatic stress, self-love, forgiveness, and sexuality. Yvette prefers a collaborative approach. She partners with each person to choose the methods and session formats that fit their schedule and goals.

Focus areas and approaches

Online support

Approaches that guide online care

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical skills and clear steps people can use between sessions. For example, cognitive-based strategies help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more balanced thoughts, which can reduce anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness techniques teach simple ways to ground attention in the present moment and manage stress without complex exercises.

Yvette will work collaboratively to find the right mix of approaches. She starts by asking about goals, daily routines, and what has or has not helped in the past. Together they adjust methods and session rhythms so therapy fits the client rather than the other way around.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video makes it easy to read facial cues and have longer conversations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Text and live chat let people keep momentum between appointments or fit brief sessions into a busy day. These options allow flexibility and steady progress while keeping the focus on practical coping and goal work.
