About Yolanda

Yolanda Dunn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW, CSW) based in Georgia who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, trauma and abuse, addictions, and related life changes.

Background and approach

She draws on six years of clinical experience to help clients address self-esteem, anger, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, and complex relational concerns such as communication problems, codependency, and blended family adjustment. Her practice also includes work with issues like abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, aging and geriatric questions, and recovery from domestic violence.

Her style blends practical skill-building with empathic, client-centered engagement. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides a foundation for identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, while mindfulness techniques support present-moment awareness and stress regulation.

Motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas are woven in when exploring motivation, attachment patterns, and deeper emotional themes. Yolanda emphasizes building rapport, creating a warm, nonjudgmental space, and partnering with clients to set realistic goals and develop everyday strategies that make progress feel attainable.

Approaches that guide online care and how they help



Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental relationship in which the client’s perspective and goals shape the work; it is useful for building trust, clarifying values, and supporting self-directed change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related patterns, and coping with life transitions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle attention practices that help reduce reactivity, manage stress, and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This exploration may involve trying different techniques, adjusting strategies over time, and setting measurable steps so progress feels clear and manageable.

Online therapy with this practitioner offers flexible access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats allow people to engage from different locations and schedules, making it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities. Licensed professionals can adapt session tools and homework to suit the chosen format so therapeutic work remains practical and goal-oriented.
