How CBT and remote sessions can help
Yolande uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different behaviours to shift mood and reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. It is often used for depression, anxiety, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts and problems with motivation.Her sessions combine listening with practical tasks. That means working together to pick tools that fit your goals, trying small experiments between meetings, and reviewing what helps. Deciding which approach to use is a shared process guided by your needs and preferences rather than a fixed plan.
The biography notes a preference for video and phone chat, which can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life. Video lets you use visual cues, while phone chat can be simpler when you need less bandwidth or a shorter check-in.
