Yvette Huddleston, LCSW

Yvette Huddleston is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Mississippi who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She works with issues around self-esteem, motivation, grief, trauma and abuse, and family-related challenges. Yvette emphasizes strength-based support and a nonjudgmental stance.

She describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s own story guides the work. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon. Yvette aims to help people notice patterns in their thoughts and everyday habits, then try small changes that feel doable.

Her approach blends several well-established methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and shift behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports values-driven action even when feelings are difficult. Mindfulness practices are introduced to build present-moment awareness and calm.

Yvette also draws on client-centered and emotionally-focused ideas to create a supportive setting where people feel heard. She encourages exploration of family of origin issues, codependency, caregiver stress, abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, and other relational topics. The work can include addressing divorce, domestic violence, eating-related issues, or the stress of blended families.

With an LCSW and three years of clinical experience in her current role, Yvette aims to meet people where they are. She supports practical choices, small experiments, and steady progress toward clearer goals.

Approaches and how online sessions can support them

Yvette uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT often includes practicing new responses between sessions and checking what works in daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take meaningful action even when emotions are hard to bear. Mindfulness practices are used to build moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different methods. That conversation guides whether more CBT, ACT, mindfulness, or emotionally-focused strategies feel most useful.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into busy days, especially when travel time is a barrier. Some formats require less bandwidth and can make shorter check-ins easier to arrange. Because session options are not listed in the biography, confirm current session formats before booking to know what will be offered. Online work can make it simpler to practice changes in day-to-day settings and to build new habits around thought patterns and routines.
