She draws on three years of counseling experience and a background working in Georgia schools and community settings. Yolanda describes her work as goal-oriented and centered on clear steps people can try between sessions.
She spent time as a school counselor in a public school system in Georgia. That role gave her daily experience listening to parents and individuals about relationship strain, family problems, and worries that affect everyday life.
Background and approach
She also gained experience supporting people affected by addictions and domestic violence in both individual and group settings. Yolanda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, and Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on practical solutions and small changes that add up. She also integrates mindfulness practices when they fit a person’s needs.
Her focus areas include family concerns and related issues such as abandonment, blended family challenges, fertility stress, guilt and shame, isolation, and social anxiety. She also helps with life purpose, self-love, and financial stress that affects relationships. People who work with Yolanda can expect clear discussion of practical steps, short-term goals, and strategies to try between sessions.
Her style is direct and supportive, aimed at helping people move toward more manageable days and clearer next steps.

How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Yolanda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to change how they feel. CBT is often useful for social anxiety, guilt and shame, and mood-related struggles because it breaks problems into clear, manageable parts. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, a short-term approach that highlights strengths and small changes that move a person toward their goals. This method is practical for family problems, life purpose questions, and situations where specific steps can reduce stress quickly. Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made. Online sessions allow flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let the therapist and client talk face to face, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, care duties, and busy schedules while keeping the focus on practical steps and progress.05Questions people ask
