About Yolanda
Yolanda Danforth is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with three years of counseling experience. She brings a practical, down-to-earth style and focuses on helping people navigate work and wellbeing alongside family concerns.
She spent three years working as a school counselor in Georgia. That role gave her experience supporting people across different ages and school-based issues. While training for the LPC she also worked with people affected by addictions and domestic violence in both individual and group settings.
Yolanda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and choices. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on small, concrete steps toward goals. She has found these approaches useful for issues like family problems, abandonment, and social anxiety.
Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns such as blended family issues, fertility challenges, guilt and shame, feelings of emptiness, loneliness, money and financial stress, prejudice and discrimination, and questions about life purpose and self-love.
Yolanda aims to help people name practical next steps and build on strengths. She invites straightforward conversation and focuses on usable strategies rather than jargon. To begin, people can follow the site process to match with her and schedule sessions according to availability.
How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Yolanda draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her approach. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, behaviors, and mood, and uses practical exercises to test new ways of thinking. It can help with social anxiety, shame, and unhelpful patterns that affect work and family life.Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, concrete steps and the client's existing strengths. This approach helps people identify quick, practical changes to try between sessions and track what improves over time.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist works collaboratively to identify goals, tries methods that fit the person's needs, and adjusts the plan as progress is seen. Clients help shape which techniques are used and what a productive session looks like.
