About Yvette

Yvette Dehn brings 15 years of clinical experience to her Maryland practice as an MD and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC). She focuses on helping people manage depression, stress, and anxiety while building motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

Background and approach

Her work often centers on guiding clients through major life transitions and coping with complex, overlapping concerns such as chronic illness, caregiver stress, and grief related to loss or abandonment. Her practice also addresses relational and family dynamics, including communication difficulties, blended family issues, attachment concerns, and parenting challenges.

She integrates several therapeutic traditions to tailor care to each person’s needs, blending Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with mindfulness, gratitude practices, and meaning-making. While she grounds her work in Christian principles, she honors a variety of beliefs and perspectives and invites clients to contribute their own values and wisdom to the process.

Yvette approaches therapy as a collaborative effort, helping people identify strengths and choose practical steps toward greater well-being. She emphasizes empowerment and personal agency, supporting clients as they work toward clearer priorities, healthier relationships, and improved coping skills.

Integrating Approaches for Effective Online Therapeutic Work



Internal Family Systems (IFS) views a person as made up of distinct parts that hold emotions, beliefs, or roles; therapy helps people notice and compassionately relate to those parts so they can shift unhelpful patterns and heal internal conflicts. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and respect for the individual's own goals, offering a supportive environment where clients explore feelings and values at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may blend elements from different approaches as sessions progress. This shared decision-making helps tailor care to what feels most useful and workable for the client.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or manage care from different locations. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, ongoing support while adapting session style and pacing to what works best for each person.
