Yolanda Danforth

Yolanda Danforth is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) who uses practical, goal-oriented approaches to help people find clearer paths forward. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to address day-to-day struggles and longer-standing patterns. Yolanda writes plainly and keeps sessions focused on what can change now.

Before moving into private counseling, Yolanda spent three years working as a school counselor in Georgia public schools. She also gained experience supporting people affected by addictions and domestic violence in both individual and group settings while earning her LPC. Her background gives her a mix of hands-on and clinical experience.

In sessions she helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, and then tests small, realistic changes. She uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and measure progress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a tool she uses to address anxiety, social fears, feelings of emptiness, and patterns tied to shame or guilt.

Yolanda’s work often touches on family concerns, such as blended family issues, family of origin conflicts, and parenting stressors. She also supports people dealing with isolation and loneliness, fertility-related strain, money worries, and prejudice or discrimination. The focus is on practical steps and clearer decisions.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She helps people identify what matters most, then builds a plan that fits everyday life. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling before booking.

How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and the behaviors that follow. Online CBT sessions focus on identifying specific thinking patterns, trying small behavioral experiments between sessions, and reviewing results together. This approach is often useful for social anxiety, persistent worry, or feelings of emptiness.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, practical goals and what works now. The therapist and client set short-term targets, test simple changes, and track what improves. This can help when people want quick, actionable steps for family stress, financial strain, or loneliness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That process includes checking in and adjusting techniques as progress is made.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow focused check-ins between other obligations. Online work can also let clients try behavioral experiments in their everyday settings and then discuss results during the next session.
