About &
Dr. & Mrs. Yvette Sabater-Lenk sees people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, anger, or relationship pain.
She speaks English and Spanish and offers practical help for self-esteem worries and the effects of trauma and abuse. She is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - with three decades of experience and works from Florida. She focuses on simple, teachable skills.
Sessions often include learning ways to manage strong feelings, step-by-step coping tools, and clearer ways to communicate.
Background and approach
She uses methods drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral approaches, and emotion-focused strategies to help people make small, steady changes in daily life. Her background includes long experience with complex situations like abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, aging and caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and autism spectrum issues.
She also supports people dealing with body image, cancer-related stress, and blended family challenges. Her practice adapts to the problem a person brings rather than forcing a single method. Typical sessions combine listening and practical coaching.
The therapist helps people notice patterns, try new responses, and build routines that reduce symptoms over time. She also works with support systems and caregivers when that is helpful for the person in therapy. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions.
Therapy is provided through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and session formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Approach-driven online therapy for practical change
Dr. & Mrs. Yvette Sabater-Lenk often uses client-centered methods that focus on listening and responding to each person's needs. This approach helps people feel heard and guides the work toward the goals they name.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and persistent worry because it gives clear steps to try between sessions.
Dialectical behavior therapy skills are another part of the toolbox and add practical ways to handle intense emotions and improve daily functioning. These skills include emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and techniques for steadier communication.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods in session, and adjust plans based on what a person finds most helpful and doable. This makes the work more relevant to day-to-day life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people practice communication and read facial cues, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging offers brief check-ins and ongoing support between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into routines.
