About Yvonne
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 18 years of experience, Yvonne Heim focuses on addiction, mood and stress-related concerns. She holds 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. Yvonne works with people facing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and substance or process addictions.
Yvonne uses Client-Centered Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). She explains how thoughts affect mood and behavior and uses practical techniques to shift unhelpful thinking. Sessions often include emotion regulation and mindfulness skills drawn from DBT and CBT tools to manage symptoms and reactions.
Her style is straightforward and direct. She aims for sessions where a person feels heard and the session stays focused on their problems and goals. Questions are welcome and judgment is avoided so people can talk openly about what’s causing distress.
Yvonne also works with relationship and family concerns as they affect individuals. She addresses codependency, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, and parenting stress. She treats a range of addictions including drug and alcohol addiction and process addictions such as gambling or pornography.
Over time she helps people reduce symptoms or build skills to manage ongoing conditions. Her approach mixes listening with active problem solving so people leave with practical next steps. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to discuss goals and plan care.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and making space for a person's concerns. It helps people feel understood and keeps sessions focused on the issues they bring. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds emotion regulation and mindfulness skills. DBT techniques help manage intense emotions and reduce impulsive or risky behaviors.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. This is a collaborative process where feedback guides what happens in sessions.
Session options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session formats before booking. Online formats can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many clients find it simpler to maintain regular appointments and practice skills between sessions when online access fits their schedule.
