Yvette Lanausse

Yvette Lanausse is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and challenges tied to life changes. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, caregiver strain, and concerns related to gender identity and sexuality.

Yvette draws on her Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California and three years of clinical practice to guide sessions. She uses a mind-body perspective, helping clients notice how thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations connect. In plain terms she works with people to identify unhelpful thoughts and try alternatives that feel more useful.

Her approach blends client-centered listening with practical skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. She also incorporates psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past and solution-focused work to set clear, short-term goals. Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-oriented, with exercises to practice between meetings.

Yvette has experience with trauma, chronic pain, transgender health issues, and women’s health concerns such as postpartum struggles and endometriosis-related stress. She also supports people dealing with loneliness, career shifts, substance concerns, and relationship or intimacy worries.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and she accepts clients from other countries. To get started clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Client-centered work focuses on the person first. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client's pace to build understanding and trust. This helps when the main need is being heard and figuring out what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques together, and adjust what they do based on what helps. Clients and therapist share responsibility for deciding which methods feel most useful.

The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as shortening check-ins when time is tight or skipping travel to fit work breaks. It also allows continuity during health changes or while managing caregiver duties, letting people maintain progress without long gaps.
