About Yonetta
Yonetta Bloomfield is a licensed social worker in New Jersey who centers sessions on the person in front of her. She uses a client-centered approach that aims to make people feel heard and respected. Yonetta draws on five years of clinical experience while keeping conversations straightforward and practical.
She helps people manage stress, anxiety, and depression through steady, nonjudgmental support. Yonetta also addresses relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues linked to substance use and low self-esteem. Her work attends to attachment problems, communication struggles, control issues, and concerns around forgiveness, self-love, and gender-specific challenges for men and women.
In the room she focuses on empowerment. That means helping people identify what they can change, and finding steps that fit their life. Yonetta combines client-centered listening with techniques drawn from ACT, CBT, DBT, and the Gottman Method to shape practical tools and coping steps.
Her style is steady and straightforward. Sessions aim to clarify priorities and practice new skills between meetings. Yonetta encourages small, sustainable changes rather than quick fixes.
People who choose her often want a respectful space to talk, clear strategies for day-to-day problems, and support to rebuild confidence. She works in English and maintains practice in New Jersey as an LCSW.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following each person's lead; online sessions using this approach still prioritize being heard and understood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can be practiced between online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns, making it useful for anxiety, mood, and stress concerns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, daily challenges, and preferences, then try approaches that fit those needs. If something isn't working, she will adjust the focus and try different techniques together.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can help fit care into busy lives by reducing travel time, offering more flexible scheduling, and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports work on practical skills between meetings, such as breathing exercises from DBT or behavior experiments from CBT, so people can apply what they practice during everyday routines.
