Yvonne does a wonderful job of accepting what I am saying and then helping me understand the deeper meaning behind it. Instead of fearing my emotions, I am starting to trust that they have purpose and can bring great joy and satisfaction to my life. Thank you!

Welcome to BetterHelp !! My name is Yvonne Ricketts. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with the State Board of Florida. I have been providing face to face and virtual psychotherapy to children and adults for over 13 years. My education is from Palm Beach Atlantic University where I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Ministry and a Master's of Science degree in Counseling Psychology. I have also been employed in various community agencies and have additional on the job training and experiences in various modalities.
I am caring, empathic, and non -judgmental. My experiences across cultures and the ability to treat everyone as unique individuals, has allowed me to hone and master my skill of reaching the heart of my clients. I am competent in the areas of Trauma Outcome Process, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Parenting Skills education (Triple P Level 4 Standard Triple P, and level 5 Pathways Triple P certification). Prepare/ Enrich certification for (Couples that are preparing for marriage and enrich those who are already married) narrative therapy to name a few, are an asset to ensure my clients get the best care.
I believe that anyone can find himself or herself in circumstances which can change their life for the better or worst. Should you find yourself in a situation where you need a competent, professional, caring person to help you navigate life’s challenges no further.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Yvonne is very personable, and a very caring soul.
She provides wise counsel.
A very kind and caring lady. Offers a variety of answers to problems. Understanding and patient with me.
Yvonne continues to offer the kind gentle support I need in my ongoing journey of self love and discovery. Beautiful experience flows through her as she draws from her life experience to draw parallels and make me feel heard and respected.
Yvonne has been a joy! I truly enjoy and continually find value in our sessions. Settling on a therapist was a journey for me, but I knew within the first session with Yvonne I found a great match.
I appreciate her helpful way of thinking through my thoughts to see the brighter side of things. She’s very responsive and I love that she listens to share not to diagnose or put me in a box
Still getting to know her. So far we are connecting really well and I look forward to building this relationship. I appreciate the fact that she reads and responds to my journal entries. Journaling every day has given me the opportunity to look a bit closer at some of my experiences. Yvonne has helped me find inspiration in this, so I will continue down that path.
Yvonne is the reason I continue to use this platform for therapy. She is amazing!
