About Yolanda
Yolanda Danforth is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Georgia with three years of counseling experience. She works with people facing family concerns and related issues such as guilt and shame, abandonment, and feelings of emptiness.
Before private practice, she spent three years as a school counselor in a Georgia public school system. That work exposed her to a wide age range and to group and individual settings. She also has experience related to addictions and domestic violence from roles during her LPC training.
Yolanda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. She describes CBT as a way to notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then practice different responses. Solution-Focused Therapy helps people identify small changes that lead to clearer next steps.
In sessions she talks through concrete problems like blended family issues, fertility concerns, money stress, and social anxiety. She also supports people working through family-of-origin wounds, forgiveness questions, and isolation or loneliness. Conversations tend to focus on practical steps and short-term strategies to reduce the weight of ongoing concerns.
Her background includes a Master of Counseling with a community approach from Augusta State University. Yolanda draws on school counseling and group work experience to shape how she works with people navigating family problems and personal struggles.
If you are carrying guilt or shame tied to relationships, faith, parenting, or past choices, Yolanda describes ways to unpack those feelings and consider small, manageable changes moving forward.
How Yolanda uses CBT and Solution-Focused work online
Yolanda draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep distress going. CBT sessions usually look at specific situations, test unhelpful thoughts, and practice new responses to change how people feel and act. Solution-Focused Therapy is goal-oriented and brief, focused on identifying small, practical steps that move a person toward clearer outcomes.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with you about your goals and preferences and suggest whether CBT, Solution-Focused techniques, or a mix might fit best. That choice is decided collaboratively and can change as needs evolve.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and keeping sessions shorter when useful.
