Yvonne Schlueter-Promes , LIMHP

Yvonne Schlueter-Promes is a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) with over three decades of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and a range of life challenges. She also supports those dealing with addiction, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues related to LGBT identity.

Yvonne draws on several practical approaches including cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance strategies, and attachment perspectives. Sessions focus on clear skills people can use between meetings, such as managing anxiety, improving communication, or coping with big changes. She aims to help people build routines that support better sleep, eating, and daily functioning.

Her background includes a Master of Science in Education with a focus on agency-based counseling from Wayne State College. That training informs a straightforward, problem-solving style that still values the person’s experience. Over 33 years she has worked with many kinds of concerns from ADHD and bipolar issues to trauma and parenting stress.

In session she keeps a nonjudgmental and open-minded stance. Meetings are meant to feel consistent and friendly while also targeting the skills someone wants to develop. The work is practical and goal-oriented, with attention to each person’s pace and needs.

Yvonne practices in Nebraska and offers care in English. She helps people who need guidance with career stress, relationship difficulties, attachment wounds, or coping with life transitions.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without being swept away by them and to choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, depression, or insomnia. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand and change how they connect with others, which can improve intimacy and relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and life context and recommend strategies that fit the client's needs. Over time the plan can be adjusted based on what is helpful and what the person wants to work on.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face work on skills and emotion processing. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option for a focused check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter, frequent touchpoints for coaching, homework check-ins, or brief support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep continuity during life transitions.
