More about Yvonne

I am a mental health counselor licensed in Florida since 2004. My undergraduate and graduate degrees are from University of Florida.
During my counseling career, I have enjoyed working with individuals of all ages and walks of life, challenged with various concerns such as depression, anxiety, chronic illness, disability, relationship issues, physical and emotional trauma and career transitions. I am a certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist.
I use a strength based approach and integrative frame of work with my clients, tailoring treatment to your individual needs. Through sensitivity, warmth and compassion, I can help you overcome the barriers that have kept you stuck.
It takes courage to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
