About &
Dr. & Mrs. Yvette Sabater-Lenk offers calm, practical help for adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, and self-esteem struggles.
She writes and talks in clear terms and focuses on what will make daily life easier. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish from her Florida practice. She uses everyday strategies to help people manage strong emotions and confusing thoughts.
That can mean learning breathing and grounding skills, practicing new ways to talk with others, or changing small habits that make days feel lighter.
Background and approach
She draws on approaches such as Narrative Therapy, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral techniques to shape each plan. Her work spans three decades as a licensed clinical social worker. Yvette adapts tools to fit each person's needs and pace instead of following one fixed method.
She pays attention to history and life stories so changes make sense for the person involved. Her background includes supporting people coping with trauma, abuse, abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, and challenges linked to autism or avoidant personality traits. She also addresses relationship concerns, communication problems, and commitment or control issues.
Therapy with her is collaborative. She helps clients set clear goals and practices skills between sessions. Practical steps and honest conversation are central to how she works.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Online session options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Dr. & Mrs. Yvette Sabater-Lenk often blends Narrative Therapy, client-centered work, and cognitive behavioral techniques in online sessions. Narrative Therapy involves talking through the stories people tell about themselves to spot new options and meanings, which can help with identity, trauma, and relationship patterns. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening carefully and building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship so clients feel understood and can set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and tests new actions, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress.She treats choosing an approach as a shared decision. In early sessions she will learn about your needs and goals, try out methods that seem to fit, and adjust the plan based on what actually helps. That makes therapy more practical and tailored to how you prefer to work.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversational work and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to use video. Live chat and text are useful for short check-ins, immediate coping tips, or people who find written exchanges easier. These options let therapy fit work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on clear, usable steps.
