About Yolanda
Yolanda Dunn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Georgia. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, addiction concerns, and trauma. Her demeanor is warm and direct, and she focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also leans on client-centered approaches to build trust and understand what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with room to process emotions and try new ways of coping. Yolanda draws on six years of clinical experience to tailor plans to each client. She pays attention to daily routines, relationships, and the obstacles that get in the way of healthier habits.
Expect clear suggestions, gentle challenge, and check-ins about progress. Parents and caregivers often seek help with stress, behavior concerns they’re unsure how to handle, and the strain of life transitions. Yolanda supports people who want tools to calm anxiety, set boundaries, and rebuild confidence after loss or major change.
Her sessions combine skill building and exploration. That might mean practicing new communication strategies, trying coping exercises between sessions, or looking at past patterns that keep showing up. The aim is steady, practical change that fits each person’s life.

Approaches that shape online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience without judgment. It helps people feel heard and guides the pace of work based on personal goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and offers clear tools to change patterns that increase anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness practices to reduce reactivity and build calm attention in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Yolanda will work together with the client to decide which methods fit best for their goals and situation. That collaborative planning helps shape session structure, homework, and what to focus on week to week.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer practical flexibility. Video is useful for more in-depth work and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a check-in is needed during a busy day. Live chat or text messaging can fit short updates, quick coping prompts, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a parent's schedule and keep momentum between sessions.
