Yolanda Dunn, LCSW, CSW

Yolanda Dunn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports those coping with life changes, parenting challenges, addiction, ADHD, and relationship concerns including communication and commitment issues. Yolanda writes in a direct, encouraging way and keeps conversations focused on practical next steps.

She uses cognitive behavioral therapy as a core approach and pairs it with client-centered techniques to tailor sessions to each person. That means she listens carefully, helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns, and works with them to try new ideas in day-to-day life. Sessions aim to be warm, respectful, and nonjudgmental.

Yolanda brings six years of clinical experience in behavioral health in Georgia. Her background includes work with grief, PTSD, compassion fatigue, bipolar disorder, and blended family or adoption-related concerns. She also supports people dealing with body image, codependency, and the practical strain of divorce or separation.

In the room she focuses on building rapport first, then helping people set clear, realistic goals. Techniques may include thought-challenging, problem-solving, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity. She describes therapy as collaborative and paced to the client’s comfort.

People looking for a direct but compassionate therapist will find her straightforward style useful when they need clear strategies for everyday challenges. She works from Georgia and offers services in English.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. It helps when someone needs a space to talk through feelings and make their own decisions about change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches steps to change thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, or anger.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try techniques that fit those goals. That process is collaborative and can shift over time as needs change.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, or family routines. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, let someone avoid travel time, and make scheduling more flexible. Licensed professionals, including this therapist, use these approaches to help people apply coping skills in everyday life.
