About Yvette
Yvette Dehn is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on anxiety, stress, depression, self-esteem, and life changes. Her style is warm and straightforward, aiming to help people make small, practical changes that feel meaningful.
She often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with mindfulness and gratitude practices to help people manage anxious thoughts and build better daily habits. Yvette also draws on Client-Centered and Emotionally-Focused ideas to listen closely and shape therapy around each person's values and goals.
Background and approach
Many clients turn to her for relationship and parenting concerns, help with family conflict, or support when caregiving or illness creates strain. She also has experience with adoption and foster care issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, chronic pain and medical challenges, and the psychological effects of trauma and dissociation.
Yvette describes work in therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s perspective leads the way. Sessions aim to clarify what matters most, practice new skills, and try different ways of responding to stress. She respects spiritual beliefs and integrates Christian principles when clients wish to include them.
Her approach is practical and paced to the client. Care may include short-term skill building for anxiety and stress, or longer work on identity, meaning, and relationships. Sessions are offered in English and take place via the listed online formats.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the client says. It emphasizes empathy and helping people find their own solutions, which works well over video or phone when a collaborative tone is needed.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It often uses concrete exercises and homework to change patterns of worrying and avoidance, which can be assigned and reviewed during video sessions or via messaging.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and express underlying emotions that shape their relationships and reactions. This approach supports work on attachment and communication and can be effectively practiced through live sessions and follow-up messages.
Yvette will collaborate with each person to decide which approach or combination feels like the best fit. She helps clients set goals, tries methods together, and adjusts the plan based on what works and what does not.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversation and interactive exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not practical. Live chat or messaging supports brief check-ins, skill practice, or times when written reflection is preferred. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
