About Yolanda
Yolanda Danforth is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) licensed in Georgia with three years of clinical experience. She previously worked as a school counselor in a public school system and has worked with individuals affected by addictions and domestic violence. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy as part of her approach to common family and personal concerns.
She helps people who are struggling with family problems, blended family issues, and family-of-origin concerns. Other areas she addresses include abandonment, fertility-related stress, and the fallout from domestic violence. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, emptiness, and loneliness.
Her work often focuses on practical thoughts and behavior patterns. Using CBT, she looks at unhelpful thinking that keeps problems going and tries new responses in small steps. With Solution-Focused Therapy she helps people identify strengths and next steps they can try right away.
Yolanda’s background includes group and individual work in addiction and domestic violence settings, plus school counseling experience. She draws on those settings to offer short-term, goal-directed sessions when appropriate. Her Masters in Counseling was completed at Augusta State University, now Augusta University.
She communicates in English and practices in Georgia. The therapist notes that sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and that costs vary with location. Prospective clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Yolanda works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in clear, practical ways. CBT involves noticing specific thoughts and behavior patterns that keep a problem going and trying alternative responses in small steps. This can help with social anxiety, guilt, shame, and repetitive worries. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes quick, concrete goals and actions to move a situation forward, often useful for family problems and blended family adjustments.Choosing the right method is collaborative. She will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide whether to focus on changing thought patterns, setting short-term goals, or combining elements from both approaches as sessions progress.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available formats before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let clients practice strategies in their regular routines and report back in the next session. Licensed professionals, including this LPC, can adapt exercises and homework so online sessions remain practical and focused on real-life changes.
