About Yvette

Yvette Huddleston is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Mississippi who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and grief. She also supports people facing family-related strains, trauma and abuse, and eating and food-related issues. She speaks English and draws on practical, straightforward work in sessions.

Yvette believes clients know their own story and brings a respectful, nonjudgmental approach to therapy. Sessions focus on building on strengths and taking small steps toward change. She aims to create a calm space where people feel heard and understood while they try new ways of coping.

Her clinical approach mixes evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages clearer values and committed action. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation focused on the client’s own goals.

Yvette uses mindfulness techniques to slow down stress reactions and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people name and shift strong emotions in relationships. She frames therapy as practical work with real-life tools, not one-off advice. Sessions typically move at a steady, collaborative pace that fits each person’s needs.

She holds an MS and the LCSW credential. Her experience helps her guide people through difficult decisions like separation, caregiver strain, adoption or blended family dynamics, and grief. To begin, prospective clients use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete the matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation, and patterns that keep someone stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. It gives concrete tools people can practice between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s goals and perspective, creating space for honest reflection and steady progress.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan over time so the work fits the person’s life and needs.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed on the profile. Online therapy can help fit sessions into busy days, make it easier to join from a quieter location, and reduce travel time. It also supports short check-ins or fuller sessions depending on what the client needs. Licensed professionals can adapt mindfulness exercises, behavioral practice, and emotionally focused work to an online setting so clients can use tools between meetings.
