Background and approach
Yapo helps clients name what is getting in the way and try small, practical steps to make day-to-day life easier. Her background includes supporting people through trauma and abuse, anger, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and grief. She also works with issues such as ADHD, body image, codependency, and coping with life changes.
Her practice covers emotional concerns tied to parenting, career, intimacy, and forgiveness. Therapy with Yapo tends to be straightforward and collaborative. She listens first, then outlines clear options to address the problem.
Clients can expect to set simple goals and track progress between sessions. She offers meeting formats that include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions are conducted in English and follow the standards of a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC).
Approaches to Help You Move Forward Online
Yapo uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on real problems and practical change. One approach emphasizes understanding and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms; this helps people learn new ways to respond to stress and low mood. Another approach focuses on processing painful experiences from trauma and abuse in small, manageable steps so memories and reactions become easier to live with.Choosing the best approach is a shared process. She listens to a client's history, goals, and day-to-day needs, then suggests options and adjusts the plan as progress is made. The client and therapist decide together which strategies to try and when to change course.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people see facial cues and speak more like an in-person session. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in fits a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief exchanges, ongoing coaching, or when typing feels more comfortable than talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while working with a licensed professional.
