About Yolanda
Yolanda Adams-Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing grief, depression, parenting challenges, and major life changes. She speaks plainly and offers steady support while clients work through painful emotions and everyday struggles. Her style centers on listening and building on each person’s strengths.
With eight years of practice in Louisiana, she draws on client-centered work to understand what matters most to each person. That approach means sessions focus on the client's priorities and values rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
How Yolanda works
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to feel better. Yolanda can assist people who are dealing with low self-esteem, motivation problems, anger, and anxiety alongside mood disorders and seasonal mood shifts. She also addresses more specific concerns such as body image, process addictions, post-traumatic stress, and challenges tied to caregiving and isolation.
Spiritual concerns can be explored from a Christian perspective when a client wants that included. In sessions she aims to make practical changes feel manageable. That can mean setting small goals, testing new ways of thinking, or practicing communication skills.
Progress is paced to each person's readiness and goals. She approaches starting therapy as a team effort. The focus is on creating steps that fit daily life, so people can try new ways of coping and measure what helps them most.

Online support options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. Online sessions using this approach mean the therapist asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps people set goals that fit their life circumstances. It is useful for exploring values, grief, and parenting concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress and then try new strategies. In online work CBT can include practicing new skills during or between sessions, tracking moods, and breaking problems into small steps. This approach often helps with depression, anxiety, and low motivation.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Yolanda will work with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying ideas, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are good when visual cues matter, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text can fit quick check-ins or those who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel while still getting structured clinical support.
