About Yvette
Yvette Fort is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 25 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, career struggles, and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and focus areas also include communication problems, guilt and shame, impulsivity, loneliness, life purpose, panic attacks, self-love, women's issues, and workplace concerns.
Yvette speaks plainly in sessions. She listens to what happened, how it still affects daily life, and what a person wants to do differently. Conversations and a practical plan are adapted to each person's situation. Expect clear steps, realistic goals, and room to talk through regrets or difficult memories.
Her work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that connect thoughts, feelings, and behavior. That can mean learning ways to interrupt unhelpful thinking, practicing different responses to stress, and building small habits that change how days feel. She often helps people identify patterns that keep guilt and shame active and then tries new approaches to reduce their hold.
Yvette has worked in community and clinical settings across her career. That background informs a straightforward approach to problems like panic attacks, workplace stress, and relationship communication. She explains options and partners with each person to choose practical steps.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription model used for sessions can be canceled at any time, and session cost varies with location.
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Yvette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on how thoughts, feelings, and behavior interact. One common approach helps people recognize and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns so those thoughts stop fueling anxiety or shame. Another practical technique focuses on behavioral changes - trying different responses to stress, building short routines, and practicing new ways of relating to difficult memories. These approaches tend to be action-oriented and work well through conversation and short practice tasks between sessions.Finding the best therapeutic method is a collaborative process. Yvette will talk with each person about goals and preferences, explain how different techniques work, and together decide which methods to try first. She adjusts the plan over time based on what is helping and what feels realistic for daily life.
Confirm current session options before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow a quicker check-in during a lunch break, or let someone use a low-bandwidth phone call instead of video. Licensed professionals can use these practical benefits to keep work consistent with everyday schedules, while tailoring session pacing and homework to what each person can manage.
