How Yolanda works
That background gives her experience with domestic violence, adoption and foster care concerns, and 2SLGBTQ+ issues. In sessions she respects that each person knows their own story. Conversations tend to be practical and goal-focused.
She helps people notice patterns, try different behaviors, and make steady changes that fit their life. Yolanda uses client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in each person’s goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new responses.
These approaches are practical and can help with anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and challenges with intimacy. She often helps with family and parenting concerns, communication problems, codependency, and stress from caregiving. Yolanda also supports people dealing with addictions, bipolar disorder, body image, and abandonment issues.
Her aim is to empower people to make clearer choices and feel more capable. People typically find sessions useful when they want a steady, respectful partner in change. Yolanda combines real-world experience with conversational, down-to-earth guidance to help clients move forward.

Online support options
How these approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s goals. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what she hears, and helps people discover their own solutions. This approach supports issues like self-esteem, grief, and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is useful for a full conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging fits short check-ins or when typing helps express thoughts. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and daily life.
