Yolanda Patton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on helping people cope with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She emphasizes practical ways to notice how thoughts influence feelings and actions. She also supports people working through grief and compassion fatigue and addresses self esteem concerns.
With six years of clinical experience, she brings a background in cancer care and hospice work. That experience informs how she talks with people facing serious illness, chronic pain, or end-of-life questions. She also supports young adults and people dealing with aging or geriatric issues.
Her approach centers on the person in front of her. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen carefully and follow each person’s pace. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thought patterns and how those patterns affect day-to-day choices.
Yolanda also incorporates Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, manageable goals and notice what changes make a difference. Sessions aim to be straightforward and tied to real life needs, such as coping skills for stress or practical steps to improve self esteem.
To begin, she invites people to take the first step and complete the short matching process. That initial step helps match goals to a plan and makes scheduling the next session easier.
How her approaches shape online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead, helping people feel heard and understood as they talk through stress, grief, or self esteem concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety and depression.
Finding the right approach is part of working together. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try methods that fit the person's needs. The process is collaborative and adjusts over time based on what is working.
Session options are not listed here, so please confirm current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day by reducing travel time and offering more flexible scheduling. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited or for using video or phone options depending on what the therapist and client agree will best support the work.
