About Yoshonna
Yoshonna Sanders is an LCSW in Louisiana with 21 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, grief, and life transitions. She also addresses relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, sleep and eating problems, and mood challenges such as bipolar disorder and panic attacks.
She focuses on how family patterns and attachment shape current struggles. That includes family of origin issues, communication problems, abandonment, and infidelity. She helps people name what is happening in relationships and practice different ways of responding.
Her sessions combine practical skills and personal reflection. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns of behavior. She also draws on client-centered methods, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and narrative work to help people examine their stories.
She supports people managing guilt, shame, and forgiveness work after loss or trauma. She helps with career stress, compassion fatigue, and adjusting to disasters or major life changes. The approach is straightforward: identify problems, try small changes, and review what works.
Yoshonna speaks English and practices in Louisiana. People who want clear, structured work on thoughts, habits, relationships, or trauma recovery may find her approach practical and direct. To begin, follow the site process to match and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can find their own answers; it helps when someone needs space to speak and be heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and introduces skills to test different responses; it is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and patterns that keep repeating. Mindfulness Therapy adds simple practices to notice present-moment experience and reduce reactivity, which can help with stress, sleep, and emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals and preferences, trying practical exercises and adjusting them based on what helps. This is a step-by-step effort rather than a fixed plan, and clients are involved in deciding what to try next.
