About Yvonne

Yvonne King is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Florida who draws on relationship-focused work to guide people through life changes. She uses approaches that pay attention to connection and communication to help people untangle stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship strain.

Background and approach

Her style is calm and straightforward, making it easier to talk about hard things. She brings 18 years of experience helping people facing depression, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, and career stress.

Yvonne pays attention to how family patterns and early attachment shape current struggles. That perspective often helps people see repeating patterns and try different ways of relating to others.

Her work blends client-centered listening with structured ideas about relationships and awareness practices. The Gottman Method is one of the approaches she uses alongside attachment-focused and mindfulness work.

Sessions typically focus on improving communication, managing strong emotions, and building more satisfying connections. Yvonne also supports people coping with self-esteem issues, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose.

She helps clients develop practical skills for coping and for rebuilding trust in themselves and others. The tone in sessions tends to be compassionate and goal-oriented.

She offers help for intimacy-related concerns, compassion fatigue, and family of origin issues. Yvonne values each person's story and works with clients to find realistic steps toward greater balance and wellbeing.

Relationship-focused care through online sessions

Yvonne draws on the Gottman Method to look at how couples and partners communicate and connect; this approach focuses on improving day-to-day interactions and reducing harmful cycles. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early bonds affect current relationships and emotional responses, which can help with trust, closeness, and safety in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding the person's own goals, creating space for people to set the pace and direction of their work.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She collaborates with each client to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level, and may combine approaches as work progresses. That collaborative planning helps make sessions feel purposeful and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls provide a face-to-face conversation for deeper interaction, phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work, and live chat or text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing journaling-style support. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around daily life and changing schedules.
