Yolanda Dunn , LCSW, CSW

Yolanda Dunn, LCSW, CSW helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, addictions, and life changes. She works with concerns around parenting, self-esteem, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and compassion fatigue. Her approach centers on practical steps people can use right away.

She builds sessions around the person's goals and daily life. Conversations focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small experiments to see what changes. She listens closely and gives straightforward options so people can choose what fits them.

Her clinical style blends cognitive behavioral ideas with client-centered care and mindfulness work. That means she pays attention to thoughts and behaviors, values the person's own perspective, and uses grounding or breath-based practices when helpful. Motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas may also appear in longer-term work.

Yolanda brings six years of social work experience to her practice as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She aims to make sessions feel warm and nonjudgmental while encouraging realistic next steps. Her goal is to help people feel more capable managing hard moments.

She is based in Georgia and conducts sessions in English. People looking for help with family stress, relationship communication, grief, or coping with major life shifts may find her practical, down-to-earth style useful.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and perspective. In this approach the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people decide what change looks like for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to test different behaviors and reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression.

Picking the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify needs, try methods that seem promising, and adjust plans over time. That way the approach evolves with the person's goals and life demands.

Online formats make this collaborative work flexible. Video calls let the therapist and client use visual cues and do deeper conversations. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, written reflections, or when someone prefers typing to talking. These options allow therapy to continue across different schedules and circumstances.
