About Yvette
Yvette Lanausse is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California with three years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues tied to identity such as LGBT and gender dysphoria. She also lists guilt and shame among the concerns she addresses.
Yvette takes a practical, straightforward approach. She uses talk-based work to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She pays attention to how the body and mind interact and includes mindfulness skills in sessions. Sessions are conversational and focused on small, usable steps rather than long theory lectures.
Her background includes work with chronic pain, adjustment to new medical diagnoses, trauma, and mood disorders. That experience informs how she supports people dealing with health-related stress, caregiving strain, and end-of-life concerns. She also works with issues connected to immigration and multicultural stressors.
Yvette trained at the University of Southern California, School of Social Work and follows the National Association of Social Workers code of ethics. She completed the clinical hours and exams required to hold a California LCSW license, which shapes her clinical practice and record keeping.
Sessions can include elements from cognitive behavioral approaches, mindfulness, psychodynamic thinking, and solution-focused techniques. She encourages people to try short exercises between sessions and to use what fits their daily life. Conversations can be in English or Spanish.
People often come with a mix of emotional pain and practical problems. Yvette aims to help sort those pieces, clarify what matters most, and plan manageable steps forward.
How Yvette integrates approaches in online sessions
Yvette commonly draws on client-centered work and mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral strategies. Client-centered work focuses on listening, understanding a person’s perspective, and shaping sessions around what matters most to them. Mindfulness-based CBT combines noticing thoughts and bodily reactions with practical experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and guilt.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with the client about goals, try approaches in early sessions, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That collaborative process keeps sessions focused and practical rather than tied to one fixed method.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Ask which session types are currently offered when you schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or a video session that avoids travel time. Those practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while balancing other responsibilities.
