Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Yolanda uses a mix of client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and solution-focused strategies to meet different needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and builds a collaborative relationship to strengthen self-understanding and emotional resilience - it is often helpful for people coping with grief, life transitions, or changes in self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and offers practical tools to address anxiety, depression, and unhelpful thinking patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes immediate goals and small, achievable steps to create change, which can be useful when someone is seeking clear strategies for coping or decision-making.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Yolanda works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and the methods that fit best, adjusting the plan as progress is made. Licensed professionals often blend techniques to meet individual needs rather than relying on a single model.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, mobility limits, or geographic barriers. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care and access support from home or on the go.
