More about Yvonne

  • LPC

Hi,

My name is Yvonne Heim, a Licensed Professional Counselor with the state of Texas. I have been a counselor for close to fifteen years. I have a master’s degree in psychology with a specialty in addiction and a master’s degree in human services with a specialty in mental health counseling. My approach to helping clients is I understand every client is different as are the problems they present with and one size does not fit all when it comes to helping clients. There are a variety of theories and techniques to assist clients in reaching his or her goals but, Person Centered Therapy along with Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) has worked well for me in treating clients.

I want clients to feel comfortable working with me and me with him or her. More importantly, I want a client to leave a session feeling like he or she was heard, and the problems, issues, and goals were the focus of the session. During sessions, clients should feel comfortable sharing and asking questions and not feel judged in any way. Person Centered Therapy is ideal for accomplishing those things. I also believe one's thoughts greatly impact one's mood, emotional well-being, and behavior. Teaching clients how to overcome many of his or her negative thinking patterns is extremely helpful and utilizing DBT can be beneficial in assisting a client to achieve peace within while working on problems and overcoming problems through emotion regulation and mindfulness.

Whether it is depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, or some other mental health issue, I will assist and support clients as they work in either overcoming the problem or learn to manage issues more effectively.

I am a compassionate and caring counselor and a good listener. I know firsthand how important it is to have a good counselor because I have experienced trauma, grief, and a host of other emotions and symptoms as a result of my trauma. I reached out for a counselor and for me, the counselor I worked with made all the difference in overcoming my life challenges.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Finding a therapist can be frustratingly difficult. I want to encourage you to continue seeking a therapist with whom you "click" and not to give up your search. For me, I found an instant connection with Yvonne. Her professionalism, genuine kindness, empathy, encouragement, active listening, openness, acceptance, trustworthiness, and knowledge are some of her characteristics which I observed and felt in my initial visit. With Yvonne's help in each subsequent session, I have been able to address difficult aspects and uncomfortable emotions. She empowers me by providing invaluable resources and skills to help me identify my personal goals, achieve self-awareness, identify trauma response in my day-to-day interactions, and begin taking control of my life. Yvonne is helping me become self-aware and build my confidence. I am no longer utterly despondent. I have hope now, and hope is defiant.

Yvonne is a kind person. She helped me process past trauma and my triggers and helped me learn some ways to handle those when they come up. She also recommended an excellent book on how the brain processes trauma--it demystified my PTSD/trauma symptoms and helped me realize I'm not broken, my brain was just doing what it was designed to do in threatening circumstances. When I need help in the future I will definitely reconnect with Yvonne.

Yvonne was my first therapist ever, and I'm so grateful I found her at the time of my life that I did. She is truly empathetic, utterly caring, authentic, listens carefully to what you have to say, and thinks critically before sharing her thoughts and expertise. She listens with an open mind, and I easily got very comfortable with her really fast, and we even shared laughs many times. I am certain that she will care for you, always validate your feelings but think critically about the entire contextual situation, and will always put her best foot forward. I did not know what to expect before going into therapy with Yvonne, but I sincerely started to feel a significant positive change not only in my relationship but in my outlook on life after just the first few sessions. She will be a wonderful guide and emotional mentor for you. (My personal issues: navigating relationship struggles, navigating emotional turmoil, fear of abandonment, anxious attachment style)

Yvonne was very personable and really easy to talk to. She didn’t make you feel like you were under a microscope which allowed me to really focus on how I was feeling. She offered options and solutions right up front after an initial evaluation which allowed me to start to focus on getting better sooner. One of the best parts about her therapy is that she provided worksheets that helped explain the “why” which I feel is very important for someone to understand so they can know how to work on themself from within. I would strongly recommend Yvonne to anyone who needs help.
