About Yolanda

She also supports those facing career questions and major life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and focus on practical steps people can use between meetings.
Yolanda centers work on reducing isolation and social anxiety. She helps people who struggle with guilt, shame, and forgiveness. Conversations often include figuring out values and life purpose alongside concrete skills for day-to-day coping.
Her style draws on Client-Centered Therapy to foreground the person's perspective. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are combined with Motivational Interviewing to support small, sustainable changes.
Yolanda also integrates psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns and early influences that shape current reactions. She explains how patterns developed and collaborates on ways to try new behaviors. Sessions are straightforward and focused on what the client wants to change.

How her methods translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and adapting to the person's perspective. Online sessions using this approach often involve open conversation about what matters most to the client and checking in on how strategies are working between meetings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In web or phone sessions CBT can include identifying unhelpful thought patterns, trying small behavior changes, and assigning brief practices to do between appointments.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and improve attention. These practices can be guided in-session and then practiced independently throughout the week.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That plan can change as progress is made.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about how a remote format could fit into your routine.
