About Yolanda

Yolanda Danforth uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people address family concerns. She combines clear techniques with straightforward conversation. Yolanda is a Licensed Professional Counselor who trained in Georgia and brings three years of counseling experience to her work.

Her style is direct and focused on small, workable changes families can try between sessions. She began her career as a school counselor in a public school system in Georgia. That role involved daily hands-on support and coordinating with others to meet students' needs.

Background and approach

While training for her LPC she also worked with people affected by addictions and domestic violence in both individual and group settings. Yolanda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings, and Solution-Focused Therapy, which emphasizes practical steps toward specific goals. She also draws on mindfulness techniques when helpful to slow down stressful reactions.

Her work addresses a range of family-related topics such as blended family issues, family of origin problems, and the everyday strains that can cause isolation or shame. She also supports people facing fertility concerns, money stress, and experiences of prejudice and discrimination. Sessions are offered in English and provided online through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Evidence-based approaches for online family support

This therapist uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT focuses on practical skills and homework that can reduce stress and improve relationships.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on identifying clear goals and building on what already works. This approach is short-term and action-oriented, often useful for specific family challenges and decision points.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your situation, discuss options, and tailor techniques based on your needs and preferences. This collaborative process helps set realistic goals and match methods to what you want to change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy family life and to maintain momentum between meetings. The range of options supports flexible communication and consistent progress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
