About Yvette
Yvette Lanausse is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with three years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, life changes, relationship and intimacy concerns, and questions about life purpose. She also supports those managing chronic illness, caregiver stress, gender dysphoria, and LGBTQIA-related issues. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and she accepts international clients.
Yvette earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California. She has experience helping people adjust to medical diagnoses, cope with chronic pain, and process trauma. Her background includes work with mood disorders, addictions, and concerns connected to aging and serious illness.
Her approach emphasizes the mind-body connection. She uses elements of cognitive behavioral work to help people notice and challenge unhelpful thoughts. Mindfulness techniques are woven into sessions to support attention and emotion regulation.
She also draws on client-centered and psychodynamic ideas to explore personal patterns and life themes. Solution-focused strategies are used when clients want concrete steps and short-term goals. In practice, sessions mix talking, skill practice, and practical problem solving.
People who feel stuck after a job change, relationship shift, health problem, or other life transition often come to her for focused support. The first session typically looks at immediate concerns and what goals feel most useful. She asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first appointment.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions fit
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship so clients can clarify values and next steps; it helps when someone is unsure what matters most after a change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, offering practical techniques for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with the client and adjust methods as sessions unfold. That conversation is collaborative and often combines methods to match what is most useful in everyday life.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel to an office. Many people find video or phone sessions let them continue regular work or care routines while still making progress in therapy.
