About Brenda

Brenda Yanofsky is a licensed psychologist practicing in Michigan who brings extensive experience to people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, ADHD, and other life challenges.

Background and approach

With 35 years in the field, she blends psychological insight with attention to mind-body connections drawn from additional training in natural Chinese medicine and energy-based healing. Her style emphasizes listening closely to each person and tailoring interventions that reflect their unique needs and circumstances.

Her work draws on multiple therapeutic traditions including cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-informed perspectives, mindfulness practices, and psychodynamic ideas to address both immediate symptoms and longer-standing patterns. She offers flexible appointment options and a personalized pace so that strategies and goals evolve collaboratively.

Clients can expect an attentive, compassionate approach aimed at helping them manage symptoms, navigate transitions, and build practical skills for daily life.

Approaches that guide online support and skill building

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes the importance of close emotional bonds and helps people understand how past relational patterns shape current interactions and emotional responses; this can be useful for relationship strains and attachment-related anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies and skill building, which is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance techniques that support emotional regulation and coping with difficult feelings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with clients to explore goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past, then tailors a mix of methods to fit each person's needs and pace.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to schedule regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care when life or travel makes in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals can use these remote options to provide consistent, goal-focused support while adapting methods to the medium that works best for each client.
