About Yvonne
Yvonne Espinoza is an Arizona Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with five years of clinical experience. She works with people who have stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Yvonne uses practical talking therapy alongside behavioral tools. She centers sessions on what a person brings and listens for strengths to build on. She has experience in clinical leadership roles and has supported people through grief, trauma, and relationship strain.
Her approach draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral methods to notice patterns and try small changes. She also uses dialectical behavior ideas for emotional regulation and mindfulness exercises to slow down intense moments. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing is included in her toolkit for processing distressing memories.
In session she helps people name specific worries, test unhelpful thoughts, and practice skills between meetings. She explains techniques in plain language and offers step-by-step exercises to try at home. Progress is tracked in concrete ways so people can see what is changing.
To begin a working relationship clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform. Sessions use a cancellable subscription model that varies with location. International clients are not accepted at this time.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Yvonne often combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on a person's own strengths, which helps when someone feels overwhelmed or unsure where to begin. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors, helping to identify unhelpful patterns and try concrete experiments to change them.She also integrates elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT skills teach practical ways to manage intense feelings and improve communication when stress is high. Together these approaches offer both short-term tools and longer-term habit changes. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That collaborative decision is revisited as work continues so adjustments can be made. Confirm the session formats available before booking since specific formats were not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, such as reducing travel time, allowing a quieter check-in between commitments, or using shorter sessions when schedules are tight. Those practical benefits can help make regular work with a licensed professional more manageable.
