Yolanda Liriano-Kimbrough , LCSW

Yolanda Liriano-Kimbrough is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, client-focused therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and self-esteem concerns. She brings 27 years of experience and speaks English and Spanish. Her work often addresses family-related concerns and life transitions for women facing difficult moments.

In sessions she creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak openly about hard feelings. She listens for what matters most and helps clients set small, doable goals. Conversations can include thinking skills, mindfulness practice, or guided processing of painful memories depending on what feels right.

Her approach blends acceptance and action. She helps clients notice painful thoughts without getting stuck, then choose values-based steps forward. Cognitive tools are used to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits. For trauma and deeper distress, she may use methods that focus on reprocessing difficult memories.

Yolanda also attends to everyday pressures like caregiving stress, financial strain, chronic illness, and relationship communication problems. She helps people unpack feelings of abandonment, guilt, shame, isolation, and loss while finding practical ways to cope. Work often focuses on building clearer boundaries and steadier self-worth.

People who prefer therapy in Spanish can speak in their preferred language. Sessions are arranged from Arizona and can be held online by video, phone, chat, or text. Starting is simple: complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session that fits your life.

How Yolanda’s Methods Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose small actions that align with what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is used for processing traumatic memories and easing the intensity of distressing recollections.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, discuss options, and together decide which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps you make steady progress and feel more in control.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet that fit busy lives. Video calls let you read facial cues and have a deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, coping reminders, or when a shorter, more frequent touchpoint helps keep momentum. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving routines, or travel.
