About Yolanda
Yolanda Adams-Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana with eight years of professional experience. She works with adults facing grief, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Her background also includes care for people dealing with guilt and shame, forgiveness issues, and stress related to caregiving.
She uses clear, direct conversations to help people sort through what’s happening now. Yolanda respects the client’s perspective and treats them as the expert on their own life. She also brings a Christian spiritual perspective when that is important to the person she is meeting.
In sessions she draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and follow a person’s pace. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify thoughts and behaviors that keep someone stuck. These tools are used to address mood problems, anxiety, and self-worth concerns.
Yolanda has worked with people handling relationship endings, communication struggles, and body image worries. She has experience with process addictions, post-traumatic stress, seasonal mood shifts, and self-harm concerns. Her approach is practical and straightforward, focused on small changes that fit into everyday life.
People who choose her often want a therapist who will hear their story, recognize their strengths, and help them name next steps. To begin, she asks people to describe what matters most and what they hope to change first.
Approach and what online sessions cover
Yolanda uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen carefully and follow the person's pace. That approach focuses on understanding what the client says and building on their strengths to set goals and next steps.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, shifting unhelpful thinking, and for planning practical changes between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can change as needs shift or new challenges appear.
