About Yolanda

Yolanda Knox is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) licensed in Oklahoma with five years of clinical experience and a long background in social services. She works with adults facing anger, relationship strain, trauma, parenting stress, addiction, grief, anxiety, depression, and related concerns. She also notes experience with LGBT issues, attachment and adoption matters, and caregiver stress.

Yolanda emphasizes a practical, person-focused way of working. She treats the client as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, skills people can use between meetings, and straightforward problem-solving for day-to-day conflicts.

Her earlier roles include family advocacy and case management, and she has worked with social service agencies for over 20 years. That background informs how she supports people dealing with domestic violence histories, family conflict, and trauma. She brings experience with a wide range of life stressors and relationship concerns.

In sessions she uses Client-Centered Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). That combination means conversations aim to center the person’s priorities while also looking at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Practical tools and communication strategies are common parts of the work.

Yolanda works in English and accepts international clients. She asks people to use the platform’s matching questionnaire to schedule an initial session. Cost varies with location and sessions use a cancellable subscription model.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Yolanda uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations focused on the issues the person finds most important. That approach prioritizes listening, clarifying priorities, and helping someone set realistic goals for change.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers concrete tools for noticing unhelpful thinking and practicing different behaviors, which is useful for anger, anxiety, and stress-related problems.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the collaborative work. Yolanda will help figure out which methods match a client’s goals and preferences, and adjust plans as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not practical. Many people find that working this way helps them practice new skills between meetings and apply strategies to real situations.
