About Yoshonna
Yoshonna Sanders is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) based in Louisiana with 21 years of experience. She works with adults on depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, grief, and life transitions. Yoshonna also focuses on family dynamics and related patterns that continue to affect daily life.
She helps people notice how family roles and expectations still shape choices and relationships. Sessions often include talking through communication problems, attachment concerns, and family of origin issues. She also addresses anger, self-esteem, intimacy-related concerns, and coping after infidelity or abandonment.
Her work draws on practical methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy supports people in finding their own solutions rather than following an imposed plan.
Mindfulness and Narrative Therapy are added tools. Mindfulness helps with stress, panic, and sleep by learning simple present-moment skills. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and tests whether those stories still fit.
Yoshonna frames sessions as focused conversations with clear goals. She helps people build skills for communication and emotion regulation, and she offers steady support through grief, mood shifts, addiction concerns, and recovery from traumatic events. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person to set their own goals. In this approach the therapist reflects what is said and helps the client clarify values and next steps, which can help with self-esteem and relationship decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions commonly include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing alternative responses, and assigning short exercises to use between sessions for issues like anxiety, panic, and mood problems.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve sleep. These skills are practical and can be used during or after sessions to manage intense emotions or panic symptoms.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked in the past. Together they will pick methods and adjust them over time as needs change.
Session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy days, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce the need to travel. The therapist will discuss what works best for scheduling, session length, and the balance between skills work and conversation during the first meetings.
