About Yulando
Yulando Thornton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 11 years of experience. She guides people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, substance use, or major life changes. Her work often includes parenting concerns and communication problems, and she aims to make therapy straightforward and practical.
Yulando keeps sessions focused on what matters most to each person. She listens closely and helps clients set small, attainable goals.
Background and approach
Conversations include real strategies for coping, managing mood, and handling workplace strain. Her background combines several evidence-informed approaches. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts.
She also uses client-centered listening to follow each person’s pace and priorities. Mindfulness practices and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) are woven into sessions when they fit. These techniques help people notice thoughts and feelings without being led by them, and to choose actions aligned with their values.
Yulando also uses motivational interviewing for clients working on addiction or behavior change. That approach helps people clarify their reasons for change and build on their own motivation. Overall she aims for a respectful, nonjudgmental tone that supports steady progress.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values. It focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while building action that fits personal goals, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It often includes homework between sessions to practice new ways of responding to stress, mood problems, and workplace challenges.
Client-Centered Therapy centers on active listening and empathy to let each person lead the pace and focus of sessions. This approach is useful for building trust, exploring relationship and identity concerns, and supporting parenting issues.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then try methods that fit. Adjustments are made together as progress is reviewed over time.
Online formats offer flexible ways to work. Video calls are close to in-person sessions and let clinicians and clients use visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is low or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to have brief check-ins, share resources, and keep momentum between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different life demands.
