About Yolanda
Yolanda Danforth uses practical, goal-focused therapy to help people handle family-related stress and personal struggles. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who draws on straightforward methods to help clients make changes. Her background includes school counseling and work in addictions and domestic violence settings.
She spent three years working as a school counselor in a Georgia public school system. That role shaped how she talks with people and helps them set clear, manageable goals.
Background and approach
She also has experience running individual and group meetings in settings that addressed addiction and domestic violence. Her approach emphasizes short-term, skill-based work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people see how thoughts and actions connect and then try new habits.
Solution-Focused Therapy narrows in on immediate goals and small steps that lead to progress. Yolanda’s training includes a Master’s degree in Counseling with a community focus earned at Augusta State University, now Augusta University. She uses that background to pay attention to each person’s environment and practical needs.
Sessions aim to be direct and useful. Typical topics brought to sessions include family problems, blended family issues, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, loneliness, and concerns around money and life purpose. Yolanda also addresses fertility stress, prejudice and discrimination, forgiveness, and social anxiety.
She offers several online formats so people can find what fits their routine and comfort. Conversations focus on realistic steps and tools that people can try between meetings.
Approach-driven online therapy with practical tools
Yolanda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy online to help people make clear, usable changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with actions that feel better and work in daily life. This approach is useful for social anxiety, persistent guilt, and patterns that keep people stuck. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on what a person wants to achieve next and maps small, concrete steps to reach that goal. It works well for family problems, blended family adjustments, and short-term challenges.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client talk about goals and try methods that match the person's needs and preferences. If something isn't working, they adjust the plan together until it fits the client's pace and priorities.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when a lighter bandwidth connection or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging support people who prefer shorter, written check-ins or want to work through thoughts between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions and to keep momentum between meetings.
