Yvette Dehn , MD, LCPC

Yvette Dehn, MD, LCPC, brings over 15 years of clinical experience to her work in Maryland. She focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and the strain that comes with major life changes. Her approach treats each person as the expert on their own life and starts from there.

She often helps people who are dealing with relationship strain, family conflict, and parenting concerns. Sessions are practical and goal-focused, with attention to the ways daily habits and thoughts affect mood and behavior. Yvette combines several methods to fit each person's needs rather than following a single recipe.

Her work uses elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She pairs that with client-centered listening so clients feel heard and can steer their own progress. Emotion-focused ideas are used when helping people understand and shift patterns in close relationships.

Yvette also incorporates meaning-making and existential ideas for people wrestling with purpose, loss, or big life transitions. She names values and sources of resilience, and helps clients take small, manageable steps toward change. Her practice includes attention to issues like abandonment, attachment, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and blended family dynamics.

Sessions are conducted in English and offered through several online formats. The aim is to help people build confidence, improve communication, and find more steady footing during hard seasons of life.

How therapeutic approaches meet online care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's priorities. The therapist reflects concerns back, helps people name their goals, and supports them in making choices that fit their life. This approach helps when someone needs a space to sort through feelings and decide on next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. In brief, it uses practical exercises and small action steps to test new ways of thinking, which can reduce anxiety and lift mood. This is useful for stress, worry, and low motivation.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how emotions shape close relationships and communication. It helps people notice interaction patterns, express needs more clearly, and change cycles that cause distance or conflict. This can be especially helpful for relationship struggles and improving connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, values, and day-to-day realities. Sessions can blend techniques and shift focus as needs change.

Online therapy here is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions support face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief updates, processing between sessions, or people who prefer typed communication. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
