About Yolanda

Yolanda Danforth is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with three years of clinical experience working in Georgia. She previously worked as a school counselor in a public school system and has experience supporting people affected by addictions and domestic violence. Her listed concerns include family issues and life purpose along with related topics such as abandonment, loneliness, and money stress.

Yolanda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. She draws on school counseling experience and group work with people recovering from substance use and those impacted by domestic violence. Sessions focus on practical steps people can take to manage thoughts, reduce distress, and clarify next steps.

In session she helps people untangle family of origin patterns, blended family complications, and hard-to-name feelings like emptiness or shame. She also addresses fertility-related stress, forgiveness, and challenges tied to prejudice and discrimination. The approach centers on identifying small changes that create momentum toward clearer choices about work, relationships, and personal goals.

Yolanda’s background includes a Master’s in Counseling from Augusta State University (now Augusta University). Her LPC credential reflects professional clinical training in counseling. She works in Georgia and conducts sessions in English.

How Yolanda Uses CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

Yolanda draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test thoughts that keep them stuck. CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and is often used for social anxiety, guilt and shame, and persistent negative thinking. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, achievable steps. It helps people build on what already works and set clear, short-term goals for change.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative trial-and-review style guides decisions about which methods to keep using and which to adapt over time.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people appreciate online work because it can fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online appointments can make it easier to keep regular sessions while juggling work, school, or caregiving responsibilities, and the therapist will discuss how to shape sessions so they fit practical needs.
