Background and approach
This gives her a broad view of how problems can affect daily life. In sessions she leans on client-centered methods that focus on each person's goals and strengths. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help change thoughts and habits that worsen stress and anxiety.

She pays attention to how problems show up in work, relationships, parenting, and daily routines. People who reach out can expect clear explanations and step-by-step options. Dr.
Yazell describes treatment in plain terms and works with clients to set achievable goals. She supports people through life transitions, grief, and challenges like sleep problems, anger, and low self-esteem.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's goals and strengths and gives space for their concerns to lead the work; online sessions let the therapist respond to what matters most in each meeting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it works well for anxiety, sleep problems, and low mood in virtual formats. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that can be practiced between sessions and reviewed during video or text check-ins.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with a client about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That means changes can be made as needs and priorities become clearer over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and demonstrations. Phone sessions work when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text messaging let clients check in between sessions or have shorter, focused conversations when a full appointment isn't possible. These options help fit care into work, school, caregiving, and other routines.
