About Yvette
Yvette Huddleston is a licensed clinical social worker in Mississippi who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, and trauma and abuse. She also supports people facing issues with self-esteem and motivation. Her approach is caring and nonjudgmental and she emphasizes the client's strengths when working toward change.
Yvette believes clients know their story best. She listens first and helps people name goals that matter to them.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than long lectures. The tone is supportive and straightforward so people can try small changes between meetings. She draws on evidence-informed methods such as acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused methods, mindfulness, and a client-centered stance.
These tools are used to help manage difficult feelings, strengthen relationships, and build everyday coping skills. Yvette uses language most people understand and avoids jargon during sessions. With three years listed experience as an LCSW - Master of Social Work and licensed clinical social worker - she blends practical skill-building with empathic listening.
She encourages steady progress and regular check-ins about what is helping. Yvette frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s priorities guide the work. People often begin by focusing on one or two problems, such as anxiety or a painful relationship pattern.
From there they add skills for handling stress, repairing connection, or managing past hurts so life feels more manageable over time.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, low motivation, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) supports people in understanding and reshaping emotional responses, which can help with intimacy and relationship patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to goals and try methods that match those needs. Over time the approach can be adjusted based on what the person finds most helpful, making the process collaborative and flexible.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can fit a break at work or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick skills practice, or when a written conversation feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and try different ways of working until the best fit is found.
