About Yolanda
Yolanda Adams-Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana. She draws on eight years of practice to help people make sense of loss, handle parenting pressures, and rebuild self-esteem. Yolanda speaks plain, steady language and centers each person’s own goals when they come to therapy.
She uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions focus on the client’s experience and priorities. She also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of coping. Sessions tend to be practical and grounded in what the person wants to change.
Yolanda has worked with people dealing with grief, mood concerns such as depression and seasonal affective disorder, and life transitions like divorce and separation. She also supports those facing body image worries, process addictions, caregiver stress, and difficulties with communication. Issues such as guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose are also within her scope.
She can include discussions of spirituality from a Christian perspective when that is meaningful to the person. Yolanda emphasizes that clients are the experts on their own stories and brings a respectful, strengths-based stance to sessions. She aims to support people as they take steps toward clearer direction and greater day-to-day functioning.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability. Sessions are offered in English and are provided with the practical goal of fitting therapeutic work into a person’s life.
Client-centered and CBT approaches in online care
Yolanda uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the person’s goals and experience at the center of sessions. This approach means conversations follow what matters most to the client and focus on building the client’s own strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used alongside this work to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new coping strategies for mood, anxiety, and behavior concerns.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose tools that match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That planning happens together over the first few sessions and can be adjusted as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking so they match your daily routine. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Talk with the therapist about how to structure sessions so they work with your schedule and the kind of support you want.
