Ivette Orozco-Mayares, LICSW

Ivette Orozco-Mayares is a Minnesota licensed social worker with three years of clinical experience, offering support for people navigating stress, anxiety, family challenges, self-esteem concerns, career questions, and depression. As an LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker), she brings focused training in evidence-informed approaches while honoring each person as the expert of their own story.

She works with individuals facing family conflicts, motivation struggles, confidence gaps, and workplace issues, and she attends to related concerns such as communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and questions of life purpose and self-love. Ivette approaches therapy with respect for clients' strengths and resilience, helping them identify resources they already have and build practical skills to move toward valued goals.

Ivette emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, believing that choosing therapy is a courageous step toward a more fulfilling life. She provides a supportive environment aimed at helping clients explore options, practice new ways of relating, and develop tools to manage current challenges while pursuing meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Ivette often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online work. ACT focuses on helping clients clarify personal values and practice accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward what matters - it is useful for stress, anxiety, and motivation challenges. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, low mood, and workplace or confidence issues. Attachment-Based Therapy supports understanding relational patterns formed early in life and how they affect current relationships and family dynamics, which can be especially helpful for improving communication and healing relational wounds.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ivette works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and pacing so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with Ivette is offered by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to engage in regular work on personal goals from home or another convenient location while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists.
