About Yulando
Yulando Thornton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who brings 11 years of clinical experience to her practice. She helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, and workplace difficulties using approaches drawn from evidence-based therapies.
Background and approach
Her background includes focused work on mood disorders, trauma and abuse, communication problems, and issues related to intimacy, grief, and self-esteem. Thornton aims to provide a compassionate, affirming environment where clients’ individual histories and cultural perspectives are respected.
She emphasizes collaborative treatment planning that centers each person’s goals while teaching practical skills for coping with life changes, managing anger, and reducing symptoms of bipolar disorder or ADHD when present. Her methods combine cognitive and mindfulness-based tools with motivational interviewing and narrative techniques to support recovery from addiction, improve relationships, and strengthen day-to-day functioning.
Clients can expect a professional who values respect, curiosity, and clear strategies. Thornton frames therapy as a partnership focused on building resilience, clarifying values, and developing sustainable coping methods that fit each client’s life circumstances.
Evidence-informed approaches for online care
Yulando Thornton uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as part of her repertoire. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. ACT emphasizes clarifying personal values and developing psychological flexibility so clients can pursue meaningful activities even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present.Thornton also draws on client-centered principles, creating a collaborative atmosphere where the therapist and client work together to determine which approach fits best. She treats selection of techniques as an ongoing conversation, adjusting strategies based on a person's goals, preferences, and responses to treatment so care evolves with the client's needs.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy schedules and to continue work between meetings through brief check-ins or messaging when appropriate. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver structured interventions, teach coping skills, and support progress toward practical goals.
