About Yolanda
Yolanda Danforth is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who draws on practical, goal-oriented approaches to help people facing relationship and life stress. She brings three years of experience from working as a school counselor in Georgia and from clinical work in addictions and domestic violence. Her style is straightforward and focused on making change feel doable.
Yolanda often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals and build steps toward them. These approaches suit concerns such as family problems, blended family issues, abandonment, and money and financial issues.
Her background includes a Master of Science in Counseling from Augusta State University, now Augusta University, earned with a community counseling emphasis. That training and her school counseling work shaped a practical approach to everyday problems. She has worked with individuals in both individual and group settings while completing her LPC.
In sessions she helps people name what matters most, break goals into small steps, and practice new skills. Common areas she addresses include fertility-related stress, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and finding life purpose. She also supports work on social anxiety and prejudice-related stress.
Yolanda aims to make therapy fit into a person’s life by focusing on clear goals and usable tools. Anyone considering work on family-related concerns, self-love, forgiveness, or financial stress can use the Start Therapy process to learn more.
How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used for social anxiety, guilt, and feelings of emptiness by turning ideas into small experiments and practical exercises.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clear, short-term goals and on what works now. It can help clients break large problems into manageable steps and build momentum toward a next chapter or specific outcome.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which method or combination fits best based on goals, preferences, and the issues brought to sessions.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Confirming formats lets you match timing and technical needs to daily life. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy feels more manageable alongside work, school, or parenting commitments.
