Approaches that guide online care and fit
Yvette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside a person-centered, strengths-based framework. Person-centered work focuses on the client’s own goals and values, helping them take the lead in sessions while the therapist provides support and reflection. Strengths-based work looks for abilities and resources the person already has, then builds practical steps from those strengths to address stress and life changes.She also integrates creative methods such as art, music, and mindfulness practices. These tools give people different ways to express strong feelings, practice grounding skills, and try small behavioral changes that support mood and relationships. They can be especially helpful for anxiety, grief, or challenges with communication and self-image.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Yvette will work with each client to identify priorities, try approaches that match those needs, and adjust methods if something is not working. The goal is to arrive at tools and session styles that fit the client’s life and goals.
