More about Yolanda

  • 30 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am licensed in Mississippi with 30 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, eating disorders, anger management, motivation, self esteem, and confidence. My philosophy of therapy is to support and encourage the concept that clients have tremendous potential to change and grow. The goal of therapy is to aid clients in identifying and unleashing their potential and subsequently their potential to change. My theoretical orientation is a Cognitive Behavioral/Solution Focused approached with emphasis on changing both thought patterns and behaviors. A cognitive behavior therapy approach is utilized to carefully measure what the person is doing and then seeks to increase changes for positive experience. Solution Focused explores ones current resources and skills that can help them create change to reach their personal goals. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
