About Yolanda
Yolanda Dunn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Georgia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, and life changes. She brings six years of clinical experience to conversations about mood, coping, and relationship concerns. Her manner is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people feel heard and understood.
She combines cognitive behavioral strategies with a client-centered attitude. That means she helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and then works with them to try small, realistic changes.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and focused on skills people can use between visits. Mindfulness techniques are used to help calm the body and focus attention when anxiety or racing thoughts feel overwhelming. Motivational interviewing can help people clarify their goals and find momentum for change, especially around addictions or life transitions.
Elements of psychodynamic thinking are sometimes explored to understand repeating patterns and how past experiences shape present choices. Yolanda aims to build a trusting relationship where clients can talk honestly. She describes her role as a partner who listens, reflects, and offers tools rather than giving quick fixes.
The work moves at the client’s pace and centers what matters most to them. Her practice is practical and down-to-earth. People who want clear strategies for managing symptoms, improving daily routines, and making steady progress may find this approach helpful.
Approaches you can use online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead so sessions reflect what matters most to them. This approach helps people feel understood and safe to talk about difficult topics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches straightforward skills to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing ADHD-related challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods based on goals, preferences, and how someone responds in early sessions. That means trying things, noticing what helps, and adjusting together rather than committing to one path up front.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let pairs see facial cues and run structured skill-building sessions. Phone sessions fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, jotting down thoughts, or keeping momentum between sessions. These options can make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules and daily responsibilities.
