Brenda Yanofsky , MI Psychologist 6301002334

Brenda Yanofsky is a Michigan psychologist with 35 years of experience. She focuses on women's issues among a broad range of concerns and aims to help people find clearer footing during difficult times.

She meets people where they are and listens first. Sessions are tailored to the individual rather than following one fixed method. Brenda uses practical talk, gentle reflection, and skill-building so people can try new ways of coping between sessions.

Her work covers stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also addresses sleep and eating problems, parenting stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness and pain, and life transitions such as divorce or end-of-life planning.

Brenda draws on several approaches to guide the process. She blends attachment-focused ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, and psychodynamic perspectives to help people understand patterns and try new behaviors.

She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life. Brenda practices in Michigan and works in English. Her credential is MI Psychologist 6301002334.

People who prefer a collaborative, steady approach may find her style approachable. She invites prospective clients to describe their goals and start a plan together.

Approaches and online care that fit your life

Brenda uses client-centered therapy to make sessions practical and person-focused. That approach means the conversation centers on what matters to the individual, with the therapist listening closely and guiding each session to match personal goals.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and many day-to-day struggles because it gives concrete strategies to try between sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Brenda treats this as a collaboration - she and the client will review what helps, adjust techniques, and set clear goals together so progress can be measured and changes can be practical.

Online therapy offers a range of ways to connect. Video calls let people see facial cues and have a full conversation, phone sessions work well when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quicker check-ins or when typing feels easier, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days and varied routines, while keeping care consistent across formats.
