Yvette Watts, LCSW

Yvette Watts is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia who brings 15 years of clinical experience working with children, families, and adults. She has worked across state agencies and community programs, and has served as a Red Cross mental health volunteer. Her training includes a foundation from Virginia Commonwealth University, and she has developed a focused interest in issues affecting older adults and couples, with particular attention to sexual health and intimacy.

Watts has experience providing services for couples, individuals, and employee assistance programs. She approaches therapy from a person-centered, strengths-based perspective while integrating a range of evidence-based methods. In addition to more traditional techniques, she incorporates creative, non-traditional interventions such as art, music, and mindfulness practices to support growth and healing.

She concentrates on concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes, and also addresses related areas like attachment and abandonment issues, body image, communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, midlife transitions, veteran and armed forces issues, multicultural concerns, post-traumatic stress, self-love, and sexuality. Yvette works collaboratively with adults and couples to identify coping skills and treatment options that fit each person’s unique needs and goals.
