Background and approach

In sessions she blends person-centered listening with practical tools and narrative ideas that help people rewrite their story.
She may use strategies from the Gottman Method, emotionally-focused work, CBT, or DBT depending on what fits. Yvette aims to create a steady, respectful space so intentions can turn into concrete change. People who come to her will find a therapist who values honesty, collaboration, and small, useful steps toward feeling better.
She frames therapy as a shared process and adapts methods to each person’s goals and daily realities.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Yvette commonly draws from the Gottman Method, client-centered therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and understanding between people, using practical exercises to reduce conflict and rebuild connection. Client-centered therapy puts the person's experience first, offering reflective listening and support so people can find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then experiments with concrete skills to change mood and behavior.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that seem most helpful. That collaborative process can include mixing techniques from different approaches to meet real-life needs.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for longer sessions and deeper conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can work for quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and keep continuity when travel or schedules change.
