Yolanda Liriano-Kimbrough

Yolanda Liriano-Kimbrough is an Arizona Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 27 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem concerns. She also supports clients who are questioning life purpose and facing major transitions.

She uses straightforward conversation to name what’s causing hurt or confusion. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try outside of the room. She mixes techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to address thoughts, behaviors, and values that matter to the person.

Yolanda also draws on eye movement desensitization and reprocessing when trauma memories are affecting daily life. She uses client-centered methods to keep the person’s perspective central to decisions about pace and focus. The Gottman Method informs how she addresses communication patterns linked to relationship stress.

She works in both English and Spanish, and she accepts international clients. Her approach is collaborative: she helps people set small goals, practices new skills in sessions, and adjusts work as progress and needs change.

Sessions use a subscription-based payment model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site’s online options. This helps match goals and therapy style before the first meeting.

How Yolanda uses therapeutic approaches in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while still moving toward things they value. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and decisions about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for mood and anxiety concerns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused option that works with distressing memories to reduce their hold on daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Yolanda will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. She collaborates with each person to try methods that match their needs and adjusts the plan as they learn what helps.

The biography does not specify which online formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while they test new skills between meetings.
