About Louise
Louise Yee is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with 30 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and problems that spring from trauma and abuse. She also supports those trying to build self-esteem, motivation, and confidence.
Louise aims for straightforward, respectful conversations. She listens and adjusts sessions to each person’s needs. Together, she and the client look at practical steps to reduce distress and build coping skills.
Background and approach
Her work often addresses relationship strain and communication problems. She helps people untangle guilt, shame, and issues around forgiveness. She also focuses on social anxiety, isolation, and finding a clearer sense of life purpose.
Over three decades, Louise has worked across many settings and learned how people respond to different approaches. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to what each person needs. Sessions are paced so people can try changes between meetings and report back what worked.
Louise values sensitivity and compassion in the room. She aims to make the process feel manageable rather than overwhelming. Practical goals, short-term tools, and steady support are central to her approach.
Evidence-based approaches adapted for online care
Louise uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are practical and direct. One common approach focuses on helping people learn skills to manage anxiety and stress through step-by-step coping strategies. That work teaches breathing, grounding, and behavioral changes to reduce immediate distress and build confidence.Another frequently used approach helps people process trauma and strong emotions by organizing memories and reactions into manageable pieces. This method supports reducing the intensity of distressing memories and improving daily functioning. Both approaches are applied in simple language and with clear goals so progress can be tracked.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, life context, and goals, then choose or combine methods that fit. That collaborative process lets clients try things and adjust as needed if something does not feel right.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video lets for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Chat or messaging works for shorter check-ins, written reflection, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to keep continuity and fit therapy into a busy life.
