About &
Dr. & Mrs. Yvette Sabater-Lenk is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and relationship struggles.
She speaks English and Spanish and offers practical, down-to-earth support for everyday challenges. She works from Florida and brings three decades of experience to each session. Her approach focuses on clear skills people can use right away.
She teaches emotion regulation, coping techniques, and ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning. Yvette uses a mix of methods to match a person’s needs. She blends client-centered support with cognitive behavioral tools and strategies for emotional regulation.
That mix is helpful for mood concerns, trauma, self-esteem issues, and persistent anger. She also has experience with adoption and foster care concerns, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, aging issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, and trauma related to abandonment. Her work includes supporting people facing communication or control issues and the ripple effects of disaster or serious illness.
In sessions she listens first, then suggests small, practical changes to test between meetings. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes. People can expect an empathetic tone and concrete next steps they can try between sessions.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy starts with listening and following a person’s lead. It focuses on understanding concerns and building a respectful working relationship, which helps when someone feels overwhelmed or unheard.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions include simple exercises to test new ways of thinking and behavior that can reduce anxiety, low mood, and anger.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. Those skills help people manage strong emotions and improve coping during high-stress moments.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try techniques that fit their needs and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth work and practicing skills together. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging are handy for quick support, written exercises, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make regular therapy easier to fit into busy lives.
