Background and approach
Sessions focus on helping people tell their story, notice patterns, and try concrete changes that fit daily life. Yvette draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy along with client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques. She also uses elements from dialectical behavior work and the Gottman Method when they match client goals.
In practice this means she helps people identify emotions, test new ways of relating, and practice skills to manage distress. Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Hawaii at Hilo and a Master of Arts in Family Therapy from Argosy University.
Those degrees inform a blended style that mixes practical skill-building with attention to emotion and relationship patterns. Yvette aims to create a calm, respectful space where people feel heard. She helps clients set small, achievable goals and checks in on what is working.
The focus is on steady progress and on tools that clients can use between sessions.

Online support
Emotion and Action online: approaches that fit your life
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and work with their emotions to change how they relate and feel. It is often used when relationship patterns, attachment concerns, or strong emotional reactions get in the way of connection.Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes listening and respect. The therapist follows the person's lead and helps them find their own direction for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Yvette will talk with clients about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those aims. She uses an open, collaborative process so clients can see what helps and what to adjust.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited; live chat and messaging let people check in between meetings or fit a short session into a busy day. These options help people keep continuity of care and shape therapy around real life.
