Yvette Carreon

Yvette Carreon is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 25 years in the mental health field. She offers a calm, straightforward style and helps people break down problems into workable steps. Her tone is practical and encouraging for those facing big life changes or sudden stressors.

She combines parts of several approaches to match what each person needs. That can mean using thought-focused exercises from cognitive behavioral therapy, skills from dialectical behavior therapy, or a client-centered way of listening and reflecting. She also draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people build steady habits and make clearer choices.

In sessions she aims for simple, applicable tools rather than long theory talks. People can expect concrete techniques to handle anxiety, anger, grief, or burnout and coaching for career and relationship challenges. She has experience with trauma, depression, bipolar concerns, and coping after disasters, and she helps clients find manageable next steps.

Yvette works with adults in California and conducts intake and planning conversations that prioritize what the client wants to address first. She emphasizes collaboration so goals and tools fit day-to-day life. She encourages questions and keeps the pace flexible to match each person’s needs.

To begin, she asks people to share what matters most to them so sessions focus on practical progress. Her long experience informs a steady, patient approach aimed at helping people regain confidence and handle stress with clearer strategies.
