Yvonne Copeland , LICSW

Yvonne Copeland is a licensed clinical social worker who helps adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes. She aims to make starting therapy easier and supports people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. Her tone is calm and direct, and she focuses on practical steps toward the goals each person brings.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that get in the way. Mindfulness practices are offered to help people manage difficult emotions in the moment. Solution-focused and strength-based methods are used to build on what already works in a person’s life.

Yvonne draws on 15 years of work across different settings, which gives her a broad view of common challenges. She has helped people cope with relationship stress, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, career shifts, chronic illness, addictions, and trauma. Her experience includes supporting those navigating adoption and foster care, caregiving demands, and aging-related concerns.

Sessions are conversational and practical. The first meeting is used to learn the person’s story, identify immediate concerns, and set achievable goals. Yvonne checks in regularly about progress and adjusts the plan as needed.

Her communication style is calm, open, and nonjudgmental. She aims to create a supportive space where adults can talk through difficult experiences, build skills, and take concrete steps toward feeling better.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Yvonne blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered techniques to address thoughts and behaviors while keeping the person’s goals central. CBT helps identify and change thinking patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and avoidance. Client-centered work focuses on listening, reflecting, and building a collaborative relationship that helps people feel heard and respected.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice and sit with difficult emotions without being driven by them. Mindfulness can be useful for managing stress, improving sleep, and reducing reactivity. Choosing an approach is a team effort - the therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls support face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and are easier during a busy day, and chat or messaging can be helpful for brief check-ins or ongoing coaching-style support. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while fitting work, caregiving, or health concerns into daily life.
