About Yolanda
Yolanda Knox is a licensed clinical social worker who supports people facing parenting stress, relationship tension, and trauma. She writes short-term goals with clients and helps them make practical changes. That first step can feel hard, and she aims to make it easier to talk about what matters most.
Yolanda draws on more than 20 years working in social services, including five years as a family advocate and seven years as a case manager.
Background and approach
She has direct experience with domestic violence, 2SLGBTQ+ related concerns, and family conflict. Her background gives her a practical view of systems and resources that often affect parenting and family life. In sessions she centers the client's perspective and strengths.
Conversations focus on what a person wants to change and steps they can try between meetings. She balances listening with clear, action-oriented ideas to test in daily life. Yolanda uses Client-Centered Therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques when they fit the client's needs.
That means she encourages people to name unhelpful patterns, try different responses, and notice what shifts. She also supports coaching-style work for life transitions and stress management. People who choose her often want straightforward help with anxiety, grief, addiction concerns, ADHD, or parenting challenges.
She accepts international clients and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit varied schedules.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. The therapist creates space for people to tell their story and identifies strengths to build on in daily life. This approach helps when someone needs emotional support, clearer decisions, or help managing parenting stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to try between sessions, which can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful interactions at home.
Choosing an approach is a team decision. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that seem likely to help, and adjust based on what works. That collaborative process helps match techniques to each person’s situation and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or for a straightforward check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send short updates, ask quick questions, or keep a therapy thread between meetings. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy parenting schedules and life transitions.
