About Yvonne

Yvonne Schlueter-Promes brings a cognitive behavioral approach to a wide range of life challenges, combining structured problem-solving with attention to thoughts, behaviors, and present-moment awareness.

Background and approach

As a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) practicing in Nebraska, she draws on 33 years of experience to help people build practical skills for managing stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and relationship concerns.

Her work addresses many concerns including trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting and family stresses, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and career or life transition struggles. Yvonne also offers focused support for issues such as abandonment, attachment and adoption-related matters, codependency, communication and commitment problems, and caregiving stress.

Known for a nonjudgmental and open-minded stance, she aims to create a consistent, supportive therapeutic environment where clients can learn new coping strategies and develop strengths for everyday life. Her approach emphasizes client goals and skill-building so that progress made in sessions translates into greater confidence and functioning across settings.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online

Yvonne commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce distress and improve daily functioning, which can help with anxiety, mood concerns, and stress-related problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes clarifying personal values and developing psychological flexibility through acceptance and mindful action, which is useful for coping with life changes, chronic stress, and difficult emotions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the specific issues a person brings, then tailor strategies and techniques to fit what the client finds most helpful rather than relying on a single method.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to maximize flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit consistent work into busy schedules, continue care during transitions, and use session formats that match a client’s comfort with communication style and pace.
