About Yvonne
Yvonne Oree meets people where they are and helps them piece life back together. She focuses on practical steps parents and adults can use to reduce stress, manage anxiety, address addictions, and cope with grief or major life changes. Yvonne is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in North Carolina and brings 15 years of experience to her work.
She uses straightforward, down-to-earth talk in sessions. She listens first, then helps set clear, short-term goals.
Background and approach
Sessions often include skill practice for handling strong feelings, strategies to improve sleep and eating habits, and ways to rebuild self-esteem and healthier routines. Her background includes long work in both mental health and substance use concerns. She has supported people dealing with trauma and abuse, mood disorders, domestic violence, and process addictions such as gambling or problematic exercise.
She also focuses on women’s issues and compassion fatigue related to caregiving or emotionally demanding roles. Yvonne draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies to help people move toward change.
The aim is practical coping tools, not quick fixes, so progress builds over time. When starting, she helps clients choose goals that fit their life. Sessions can include talking through relationship and parenting stress, planning career moves, or addressing intimacy and sexual health concerns.
The approach is respectful, direct, and tailored to each person’s needs.
Online approaches that focus on skills and change
Client-centered work starts by listening to what matters most to the person and shaping goals around those priorities. This approach helps people feel heard and sets a foundation for practical change, useful for relationship strain, grief, or general life stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep or eating issues, and to support coping with mood swings or bipolar symptoms.
Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment and teaches simple breathing and grounding exercises. It can help reduce rumination, ease anxiety, and support better emotional regulation during stressful times.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try techniques together, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so sessions stay focused on practical progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face work when detailed conversation and visual cues help. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging enable brief check-ins, homework support, or shorter sessions between full appointments. These options make it easier to practice skills and stay consistent with treatment while juggling family, work, or school.
