Yolanda Danforth, LPC

Yolanda Danforth is a Licensed Professional Counselor who uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people facing family-related stress and personal struggles. She draws on three years of counseling experience and a background in school counseling to offer practical, goal-oriented support.

Yolanda spent several years working as a school counselor in Georgia. That role gave her daily practice helping people talk through relationship strain, social anxiety, and feelings of isolation. She also gained experience supporting people affected by domestic violence and addiction in individual and group settings while completing her LPC.

In sessions she focuses on clear, doable steps. She uses CBT to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She also brings Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and build practical strategies for change.

She works with concerns commonly connected to family life, including blended family issues, family of origin problems, and the emotional fallout from fertility struggles. Other areas she addresses include abandonment, guilt and shame, forgiveness, money and financial stress, and feelings of emptiness or lack of purpose.

Yolanda earned a Master’s in Counseling with a community focus from Augusta State University (now Augusta University). She holds a Georgia LPC and conducts sessions in English. Her approach is straightforward and collaborative, aimed at helping people take the next steps toward clearer thinking and more manageable daily routines.

Online approaches and practical access to care

Yolanda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thoughts that lead to distress. CBT focuses on clear exercises and behavior changes that can reduce social anxiety, guilt, or persistent negative thinking. Solution-Focused Therapy is also part of her work and centers on identifying small, immediate goals and building on existing strengths to create forward movement.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals, and adjusts plans as progress is made. The aim is to find practical tools that feel useful in day-to-day life, not one fixed method for everyone.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when that helps progress. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for short updates, ongoing support between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain steady contact with a licensed professional.
