About Yvonne
Yvonne Heim is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 18 years of counseling experience. She holds a master’s degree in psychology focused on addiction and a master’s degree in human services focused on mental health counseling. Yvonne emphasizes treating each person as an individual rather than applying one fixed method to everyone.
She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people feel heard and safe to talk. Sessions focus on the issues you bring, with the goal of leaving each meeting clearer about next steps. Yvonne encourages questions and open conversation so people can shape the work together.
Her practice draws on Client-Centered Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). In plain terms, she helps people notice how thoughts affect mood, learn practical skills for emotion regulation, and use talking to identify what matters most to them.
Yvonne works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, anger, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on problems like codependency, communication breakdowns, substance and process addictions, post-traumatic stress, panic, and seasonal mood changes.
Clients can expect a compassionate listener who draws on clinical approaches to support either symptom relief or better long-term coping. Her background includes direct experience with trauma and grief, which informs a practical, empathetic style in sessions.
How client-centered, CBT, and DBT fit into online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, accepting relationship. It helps people feel understood and decide what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions, and teaches practical ways to change unhelpful thinking and behavior for problems like anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage intense emotions and reduce self-destructive patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest an approach to try. That choice is collaborative and can change over time as progress and challenges become clearer.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online appointments can make it simpler to schedule brief check-ins between commitments or choose options that don’t require video when bandwidth or bandwidth stability is limited.
