Yolanda Danforth , LPC

Yolanda Danforth is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses clear, practical approaches to help people facing family-related stress. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide conversations and create small, attainable steps forward.

She spent three years as a school counselor in Georgia. That work gave her hands-on experience with families and with responding to everyday pressures that affect relationships and well-being. She has also worked with people impacted by addictions and domestic violence in both individual and group settings while completing her LPC.

In sessions she keeps language straightforward and focuses on actions clients can try between meetings. That might mean identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing new behaviors, or setting brief goals to break bigger problems into manageable parts. Her approach aims to help people feel less stuck and more able to cope with immediate concerns.

Common topics she addresses include family problems, blended family issues, fertility-related stress, and the emotional aftermath of abandonment or domestic violence. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, loneliness, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose and self-worth.

Yolanda offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. She practices in Georgia and conducts sessions in English. To begin, users follow the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Her background blends school counseling experience with community-based work, bringing a practical focus to each client's goals and day-to-day challenges.

How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

Yolanda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts that lead to distress and try different behaviors to see what helps. CBT sessions often include simple exercises and homework that can be practiced between meetings to reduce anxiety or change unhelpful patterns.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to zero in on small, realistic goals. This approach emphasizes what someone wants to do differently and builds on what already works, creating quick steps toward clearer routines and less conflict.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client talk about goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful. Yolanda will help identify which tools fit a person’s needs and preferences rather than using a single fixed method.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. Video allows face-to-face conversation while phone calls can be a good option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or handle brief concerns without a full appointment. These options aim to make consistent work on goals more practical and flexible for everyday life.
