About Yvette

Yvette Lanausse, LCSW offers help for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes. She supports concerns related to relationships, intimacy, addiction, self-esteem, career challenges, and issues tied to gender and sexual minority status. Yvette speaks English and Spanish and practices from California.

She brings three years of clinical experience and uses straightforward, person-focused care. Sessions often center on listening first and then finding practical ways to reduce distress. Yvette emphasizes the connection between thoughts and behavior and helps people notice which thinking patterns keep problems going.

Her background includes work with chronic pain, adjustment to medical diagnoses, trauma, and mood difficulties. She draws on a mix of client-centered approaches and cognitive behavior techniques to make sense of current struggles. Mindfulness tools are used to reduce anxiety and increase awareness of physical and emotional signals.

Therapy sessions aim to set clear, manageable goals and to build skills that fit everyday life. She can help people develop coping strategies for caregiving stress, chronic illness, and issues that come with aging or serious medical concerns. Yvette also addresses concerns such as guilt, shame, immigration stress, and isolation.

People can expect a collaborative style that balances support with practical steps forward. She follows social work professional ethics and works from California as a licensed clinical social worker.

How her approaches guide online care

Yvette commonly combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and short mindfulness practices. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience, helping people feel heard and supported while they decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical ways to change patterns that cause distress. Mindfulness techniques teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce anxiety and increase present-moment awareness.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then shape sessions together. That may mean mixing listening, skill-building, and brief mindfulness exercises depending on what helps most.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a work break or avoiding travel time for appointments. It can also allow people to continue therapy when living far from a clinician. Licensed professionals will work with clients to find a rhythm and format that suit everyday routines and therapeutic goals.
