About Yolanda

Yolanda Dunn helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addictions, and life changes. She also supports people coping with parenting strain, low self-esteem, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, anger, and compassion fatigue. Yolanda uses practical, straightforward talk to help clients find clearer ways forward.

She brings six years of clinical experience and works in Georgia as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). She begins by listening and building trust so people feel heard.

Background and approach

From there she and the client clarify goals and try simple, concrete steps that fit everyday life. Her style combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. That means sessions tend to focus on current problems, changeable thoughts, and small experiments clients can try between meetings.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas when it helps to understand repeated patterns from the past. Yolanda aims to make therapy practical and relatable. She often uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and to set realistic next steps.

Sessions usually mix talking, brief skill practice, and planning for what to try at home. People who choose Yolanda can expect clear explanations, down-to-earth feedback, and collaboration on goals. She works to create a warm, nonjudgmental environment and acts as a steady guide while clients build new ways of coping and living.

Online support

Approaches that translate well to online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people feel understood and able to set their own goals. It helps with coping, self-esteem, parenting strain, and processing grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and habits; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase self-awareness, which can help with stress, trauma symptoms, and cravings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client's preferences, and adjust the plan as needed. The process is collaborative, with the client and therapist checking in about what is helping and what should change.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people see facial cues and do deeper conversational work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, planning, and reminders between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules while keeping continuity of care.
