About Yulando
Yulando Thornton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 11 years of experience. She supports people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and other difficult life issues. Her manner is calm and direct, and she focuses on practical steps that fit each person's situation.
She tends to start by listening closely to an individual's story. That helps her work out what feels most urgent and what goals to set.
How Yulando works
Sessions are collaborative - she helps people try new ways of responding to problems rather than simply giving advice. Yulando uses several approaches that encourage awareness and action. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thoughts and behaviors that get in the way.
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people make room for hard feelings while moving toward what matters. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are part of her toolkit when people need help building new habits or staying motivated to change. Treatment often includes short exercises, real-world practice, and check-ins about progress between sessions.
She works with concerns such as relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, workplace stress, grief, trauma and substance use. Yulando emphasizes strengths and practical coping skills so people can regain more control over daily life.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Yulando frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and then take small steps toward what matters to them. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with major life changes.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on method that helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with more constructive behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood disorders, sleeping problems, and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Yulando will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan together as progress is tracked. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to a person's needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a shorter check-in or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing motivation, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options make therapy more flexible for different schedules and needs.
