About Yvonne

Yvonne Ricketts is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with twelve years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She trained at Palm Beach Atlantic University, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Ministry and a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology, and has worked in community agencies where she received additional practical training across therapeutic modalities. Her practice has included both in-person and virtual psychotherapy, shaping a flexible approach to client care.

She describes herself as caring, empathic, and non-judgmental, and emphasizes the importance of treating each person as an individual. Yvonne uses a mix of evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered techniques, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused strategies to address concerns such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief, addiction, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.

Additional areas of focus include aging and geriatric issues, communication problems, immigration-related concerns, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress. Her background includes training in parenting skills education and other targeted interventions, and she aims to build a collaborative therapeutic relationship that helps clients work toward practical goals and improved coping.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, non-judgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead to build insight and self-direction; it can be helpful for people who want a supportive environment to explore feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills for identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviors, which is useful for addressing anxiety, depression, stress, and mood-related concerns. Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve ambivalence and find internal motivation for change, often pairing well with work on addictions, behavior change, or goal-directed work.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic process and is explored collaboratively. The therapist will work with each client to assess goals, preferences, and needs and then suggest techniques to try, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so the work remains aligned with what the client finds helpful.

Online therapy with this clinician uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer greater flexibility for scheduling and accessibility across locations. These formats make it possible to continue consistent care around work, family, or mobility constraints while maintaining regular contact to practice skills, process experiences, and track progress.
