Ivette Orozco-Mayares, LICSW

Ivette Orozco-Mayares is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, evidence-based approaches to help people manage stress and anxiety. She focuses on real-life concerns like self esteem, career struggles, and family tensions. Ivette keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented to help clients take small steps toward change.

With three years of professional experience in Minnesota, Ivette aims to create a supportive space for people to talk through what feels hard. She treats each person as the expert on their life and builds on existing strengths. That means sessions often include problem solving, skill practice, and gentle challenges to unhelpful thinking patterns.

Ivette draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy strategies to help people clarify values and take action even when emotions are uncomfortable. Attachment-based ideas and Emotionally-Focused Therapy help when relationship patterns and emotional connection are central concerns.

Common issues she helps with include depression, feelings of isolation or loneliness, communication problems, guilt and shame, and workplace stress. She also supports people working through forgiveness, finding life purpose, and building self-love.

Sessions are offered in English and are available via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Ivette uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Practical therapy approaches delivered online

Ivette uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT often includes actionable exercises and short experiments people can try between sessions to see real shifts. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is also part of her work; ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ivette will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. She combines techniques when helpful and adjusts the plan as people learn what works for them.

Online sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and situations. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skill demonstrations, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can support short check-ins or ongoing practice. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and daily life, while letting the person choose the format that best supports their progress.
