About O

O Yvette Carter is a licensed social worker with 31 years of clinical practice who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress and anxiety while strengthening self-worth.

Background and approach

She focuses on practical strategies for career concerns, coping with life transitions, and living with ADHD, and she weaves attention to chronic health challenges and neurodevelopmental differences into her work. Her training as an LMSW (licensed master social worker) informs a practical, strengths-based approach that emphasizes building resilience and skills for everyday life.

Carter frames therapy around compassion and customization, helping clients address isolation, financial strain, seasonal mood shifts, and issues connected to identity and self-love. She draws on long experience to create a collaborative space where individuals can explore resources, develop concrete coping techniques, and set goals that fit their circumstances.

Based in Michigan, she uses a calm, respectful style intended to help people move from feeling stuck toward clearer priorities and greater emotional balance.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Cognitive and skills-based approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and teaching practical strategies for managing stress, anxiety, and attention differences; these methods typically involve setting goals, practicing new behaviors, and learning coping tools that apply to daily life. Supportive, person-centered techniques emphasize collaboration, validation, and building self-compassion, helping people address isolation, self-esteem, and life transitions by exploring strengths and values.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to evaluate what feels most helpful based on their concerns, goals, and preferences, and will adjust methods over time to better fit changing needs and circumstances.

Online care offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or to continue work during life transitions. These options allow licensed professionals to provide ongoing support, skill practice, and check-ins in formats that many clients find convenient and accessible.
