About Yolanda
Yolanda Liriano-Kimbrough is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Arizona. She has 27 years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and challenges with self-esteem. She focuses on practical, conversational work.
Sessions are meant to be a place to speak openly about thoughts and feelings without judgment. She seeks to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and supported. Yolanda uses methods that help people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values.
How Yolanda works
She draws on approaches that include acceptance and commitment techniques, cognitive behavioral strategies, and client-centered listening. She also has experience using EMDR for trauma-related concerns and relationship-focused tools from the Gottman Method. Her practice attends to common life stressors such as family conflict, communication problems, caregiver strain, and financial stress.
She also addresses abandonment and attachment issues, body image, chronic illness or pain, and mood concerns. Grief, forgiveness, guilt, and loneliness are additional areas she helps people navigate. Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person's needs.
Yolanda speaks English and Spanish, and she accepts international clients. Her goal is to help people find clearer direction and steadier coping as they work toward a more satisfying life.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small meaningful actions. It helps people who feel stuck by teaching skills to accept difficult thoughts and still move toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and uses clear strategies to change unhelpful patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that can help reduce distress tied to upsetting memories through structured processing.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and then recommend one or a mix of methods. This collaborative process lets people try an approach and adjust it over time based on what feels most helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a busy day with less bandwidth, live chat can be useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflections between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and keep continuity of care across locations.
