About Yolanda
Yolanda Dunn, LCSW, CSW brings six years of clinical practice supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addictions, ADHD, and challenges related to family and parenting.
Background and approach
She centers work on helping clients regain balance during life transitions, address self-esteem and anger concerns, and navigate complex issues such as domestic violence, adoption and foster care dynamics, and attachment or personality-related difficulties.
Her style blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered and mindfulness-informed elements to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical skills for coping and emotional regulation. Motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas also inform her work when exploring motivation, underlying patterns, and relationship dynamics.
Yolanda emphasizes building a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where clients feel heard and encouraged to pursue change. Located in Georgia, she offers a collaborative approach that respects each person’s pace and goals.
Her practice focuses on empowering clients to make incremental changes, strengthen resilience, and apply new strategies in daily life while she provides guidance and support throughout the process.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; it is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes by teaching practical skills and strategies. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist prioritizes active listening and supports clients in exploring their feelings and values at their own pace. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-focused awareness and self-compassion techniques that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation during periods of grief, trauma recovery, or chronic stress.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to consider needs, goals, and preferences and may blend methods over time to find the best fit. This collaborative stance helps tailor work to what is most useful for the person in front of her.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule or maintain continuity during life changes. These options support regular engagement and allow clients and therapists to focus on skill-building, emotional processing, and problem-solving in ways that suit individual routines and comfort levels.
