Yolanda Adams-Johnson

Yolanda Adams-Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana. She helps people facing grief, low self-esteem, depression, parenting strain, and the loneliness that can follow major life changes. Her style aims to be warm and straightforward so people can talk about what matters most.

Yolanda believes clients know their own story and brings eight years of experience to support practical steps forward. She listens first, then works with each person to identify strengths and next steps. Sessions may include talking through painful memories, building coping plans, and practicing small changes that add up.

Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques. That means she focuses on understanding each person's perspective while also trying out new ways of thinking and behaving that can reduce distress. She can also discuss spirituality from a Christian perspective when that matters to a client.

People who choose Yolanda often want clear, doable tools and a supportive listener. She aims to help with motivation, communication problems, caregiver stress, body image concerns, and process-related behaviors such as compulsive exercise or pornography. The work tends to focus on one step at a time, with respect for each person's pace.

Yolanda works in English and practices in Louisiana as an LCSW. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and helping people feel heard. Online sessions allow the same kind of open listening and reflective conversation that this approach uses to explore grief, loneliness, and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and tries small, practical experiments to shift patterns. In remote sessions CBT work can include setting brief homework, tracking moods between meetings, and practicing new skills during daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether to emphasize reflective listening, CBT skills, or a mix. Goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful guide that choice.

The practical upside of online therapy is fitting sessions into busy days. Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can reduce travel time, make scheduling easier around caregiving or work, and let people try short check-ins or regular weekly sessions without reorganizing their whole day.
