Tiffany Yates , LMFT

Tiffany Yates is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Indiana who focuses on practical, evidence-based help. She centers care on relationships, women's issues, and the stress and anxiety that come with life changes. Tiffany communicates in straightforward language and aims to make therapy feel manageable and down-to-earth.

She brings ten years of clinical experience and a background that includes work with individuals, young adults, couples, and family concerns. Her work often addresses communication problems, intimacy and fertility concerns, postpartum depression, and the effects of trauma. She also helps with guilt, shame, and questions about life purpose.

Tiffany uses approaches that draw on strengths and story, including solution-focused and narrative ideas. She also uses Emotion Focused Therapy with couples to help partners reconnect and talk about hard topics like infidelity and intimacy. When helpful, she can include faith in sessions for clients who want that perspective.

Her training and roles have included clinical supervision and team leadership, and she has worked in community settings across Northern Indiana. Tiffany earned a master's degree in marriage and family therapy after completing undergraduate study in psychology and pre-dance therapy.

Outside of work she is married and a parent, and she names family life and caring for others as central to her values. She aims to offer clear guidance, manageable steps, and steady support as people cope with change and rebuild trust and wellbeing.

Approaches for relationships and life changes online

Tiffany uses practical, evidence-based methods that translate to remote work. Solution-focused work narrows in on concrete goals and small changes that make daily life easier, and it can help with stress, communication, and coping with new situations. Narrative-informed work helps people tell and rethink the stories that shape their relationships and sense of self, which is useful for guilt, shame, and life purpose concerns.

With couples, she draws on Emotion Focused Therapy to help partners notice and name emotions and then respond differently to one another. That approach targets patterns that keep partners stuck and supports rebuilding connection after infidelity, intimacy shifts, or major life transitions. Choosing the right approach is collaborative; she will discuss options with each client and adjust methods based on goals and what feels most helpful.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this work. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for emotion-focused and couples work. Phone sessions are lower bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat or text-based messaging is useful for short check-ins, symptom tracking, and ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it possible to fit therapy into family life and other daily demands, while keeping care flexible and accessible.
