Yvonne Heim, LPC

Yvonne Heim is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 18 years of clinical experience. She holds graduate degrees in psychology, with a specialty in addiction, and in human services, with a specialty in mental health counseling. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, trauma, relationship concerns, parenting strain, and related issues including codependency and process addictions.

Yvonne uses person-centered methods alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). She focuses on clear goals and practical skills. Sessions emphasize listening, identifying unhelpful thinking, and learning tools for emotion regulation and mindfulness.

In a session she aims for straightforward conversation. Clients can expect to talk about what matters to them, name specific problems, and set small, doable steps. She helps people notice thought patterns that affect mood and behavior, then works through exercises to change those patterns.

Her background includes work with addiction and trauma, and she draws on that training when relevant. Yvonne also uses solution-focused ideas to help clients find manageable changes to try between sessions. She encourages questions about methods and progress so the work stays practical and goal-oriented.

People who struggle with people-pleasing, trouble saying no, being overwhelmed by others' crises, or repeating the same relationship patterns may find this approach useful. Sessions are conducted in English and tailored to adult concerns around stress, coping, and recovery.
