About Yolanda
Yolanda Danforth is an LPC who integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy into her counseling practice, drawing on three years of clinical experience.
Background and approach
She began her career as a school counselor in Georgia and has worked in settings that addressed addictions and domestic violence through both individual and group modalities. Her training and practice reflect a focus on practical, skills-based approaches that help clients address immediate concerns while building longer-term coping strategies.
Her primary specialty is family-related work, and she addresses a range of related issues including abandonment, blended family challenges, family of origin concerns, and broader family problems.
Additional areas she supports include fertility matters, forgiveness, guilt and shame, feelings of emptiness or isolation, life purpose, money and financial stress, experiences of prejudice and discrimination, self-love, and social anxiety or phobia. She earned a master’s degree in Counseling with a community emphasis from Augusta State University and holds Georgia licensure as LPC GA LPC LPC012707.
Yolanda approaches therapy with an emphasis on helping clients move into their next chapter with purpose, using structured techniques alongside goal-oriented conversations to create measurable progress. Sessions emphasize practical tools and collaborative planning tailored to each client’s goals and circumstances.
Practical Therapeutic Approaches for Online Family Support
Yolanda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; this approach is useful for addressing anxiety, social phobia, guilt, and stress related to family and life transitions. Solution-Focused Therapy is also part of her practice and centers on identifying strengths and small, concrete steps toward preferred outcomes, which can be especially helpful for navigating blended family issues, fertility concerns, and financial stress.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting techniques over time to match changing needs and priorities. This collaborative stance helps tailor interventions so they feel practical and relevant to daily life.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it possible to access therapeutic tools, homework, and regular check-ins without travel, supporting continuity of care and easier integration of skills into a client’s routine.
