About Yolanda
Yolanda Danforth is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Georgia with three years of clinical experience. She writes that she has worked as a school counselor in a public school system and has experience in addictions and domestic violence settings. Her stated specialties include family concerns and family of origin issues, along with related areas such as abandonment, blended family issues, and fertility questions.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work, and has also applied mindfulness-based methods. In sessions she focuses on practical steps people can take to change patterns that began in childhood or the family system. That can mean identifying recurring roles, shifting expectations, and practicing new behaviors between meetings.
Her background includes a Master’s in Counseling with a community focus from Augusta State University, completed in 2010, and clinical experience across school, individual, and group settings. The LPC credential is listed as GA LPC. She notes work with addictions and domestic violence while completing clinical hours.
In a typical conversation with her, clients can expect clear goals and brief interventions aimed at resolving a specific concern. She combines cognitive techniques that examine thoughts and beliefs with solution-focused strategies that map small, measurable changes. Mindfulness practices may be added when useful to manage anxiety or strong emotions.
People often come to her for help untangling family patterns, dealing with guilt or shame, or managing social anxiety and loneliness. She also addresses practical issues such as money stress and life purpose when these link back to family expectations or early roles.
How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Yolanda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often involve setting clear goals, trying short exercises between meetings, and tracking small changes in thinking and action.She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on practical steps and immediate solutions. That approach narrows in on what is already working and builds brief, achievable plans to shift family patterns or daily routines.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your concerns, goals, and preferences and then recommend which techniques to try first. Sessions can be adjusted as progress is made so the plan stays aligned with what matters most to the client.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can be scheduled during a lunch break, and phone or lower-bandwidth options can be used when video is difficult. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while balancing family and work commitments.
