Yolanda Patton, LCSW

Yolanda Patton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people cope with anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She draws on a practical, thought-focused approach to help people understand how their thinking affects feelings and behavior. Her work is grounded in whole-person care that considers mind, body, and spirit.

She has six years of clinical experience and substantial background in cancer care and hospice support. That experience informs how she talks with people facing chronic illness, aging concerns, or end-of-life questions. She also supports people managing grief, compassion fatigue, chronic pain, and self-esteem struggles.

In sessions, she uses clear techniques that aim to change unhelpful thought patterns and build workable steps forward. She blends client-centered conversation with cognitive-behavioral tools and solution-focused tasks to help people make practical progress. The focus is on small, achievable shifts that fit each person’s life.

Yolanda earned a bachelor’s degree in social work, a master’s degree in social work, and a certificate in interpersonal trauma studies. She practices in California as an LCSW and communicates in English.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting a person’s own goals. It helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings and to be heard without judgment.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stressful life changes by teaching practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes quick, goal-oriented steps. It helps people identify small changes that lead to noticeable improvements in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying different techniques and adjusting the plan if something does not fit.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to check in during a lunch break or manage ongoing care alongside medical appointments. Because the specific session formats were not listed in the biography, confirm current options before booking to see what is offered and how sessions can best fit into daily life.
