About Yvette
Yvette Carreon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with more than 25 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and issues related to intimacy and self-esteem. She also addresses career concerns, caregiving stress, and compassion fatigue.
Her style combines practical skills and straightforward conversation. She draws on Client-Centered methods alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative techniques. Sessions focus on useful strategies that can be used day to day rather than abstract theory.
Yvette often helps people sort through family and parenting-related pressures, blended family issues, abandonment and attachment concerns, and communication or control problems. She also supports those coping with major life changes, divorce or separation, and the effects of domestic violence. Her work includes attention to mood disorders such as bipolar and disruptive mood dysregulation patterns when those are part of a person’s concerns.
Clients can expect a collaborative process that identifies concrete goals. Conversations commonly include skill-building exercises, mindfulness practice, and steps to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Progress is tracked in ways that connect to daily routines and responsibilities.
She offers services to people in California and conducts sessions in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Yvette commonly blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship so clients can set their own goals. CBT looks at thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful habits. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills for high-intensity emotions or recurring conflicts.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about problems, goals, and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try first. The plan can be adjusted over time based on what is helpful and what fits the person’s life.
The original biography did not specify session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. In practice this means it can be easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, and other day-to-day responsibilities. Licensed professionals adapt exercises, mindfulness practice, and CBT or DBT skill coaching so they work in remote appointments.
