About Yvonne
Yvonne King is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Florida with 18 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, and trauma. She also addresses intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and codependency-related patterns.
Her work draws on family systems and attachment ideas to see problems in the context of relationships. She uses client-centered listening alongside narrative and existential approaches to help people clarify what matters to them. She also brings mindfulness practices and elements of the Gottman Method when relationship communication is a focus.
In sessions she helps people notice how their past family experiences shape present choices. She supports people who have trouble saying no, who put others first, or who feel stuck in people-pleasing patterns. Conversations are practical and aimed at clearer boundaries, healthier communication, and rebuilding a sense of self.
Yvonne frames therapy as a collaborative process. She works with each person to identify goals and practical steps they can try between sessions. Mindfulness exercises and narrative techniques are used to shift unhelpful habits and to strengthen emotional regulation.
She welcomes questions about parenting, career transitions, and coping with life changes. Sessions also address forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, and finding more clarity around life purpose and self-love.
How sessions work
How attachment, client-centered work and mindfulness translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help people notice attachment reactions and practice different ways of asking for needs or setting boundaries. This approach is useful for intimacy concerns, codependency patterns, and family of origin issues.Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflection. The therapist follows the person's lead, clarifies what matters, and helps people make their own choices. It fits people who want a collaborative pace rather than a directive plan.
Mindfulness therapy brings simple practices for calming the nervous system and increasing present-moment awareness. Short exercises and breathing or grounding techniques are often used between sessions to manage anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Decisions about which methods to use are made together and can change as progress is reviewed.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life - for example, by shortening commute time, allowing sessions during a lunch break, or offering check-ins that do not require being on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt conversational, experiential, and skills-based methods to remote sessions so the work can stay practical and focused on real-life changes.
