About Yoshonna
Yoshonna Sanders is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Louisiana with 21 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and anger. She also addresses relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, sleep and eating problems, and career-related stress.
Sanders focuses on family dynamics and attachment patterns that affect daily life. She helps people talk through communication problems, abandonment issues, and family of origin concerns. She also supports people processing infidelity, guilt, shame, and forgiveness.
Her sessions often look at how past experiences shape present reactions. She uses conversations to identify triggers and to practise new ways of responding. She brings approaches that include client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative work.
When trauma or post-traumatic stress is present, she helps clients work through memories and grounding strategies at a manageable pace. For mood and panic issues she focuses on practical tools for coping and calming.
People who choose Sanders tend to want straightforward talk, clearer communication with others, and tools to reduce reactivity. The emphasis is on learning skills that can be used day to day, and on understanding patterns that keep problems repeating.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps when someone needs to feel heard and to sort through their own priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to shift unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple awareness and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and to bring attention back to the present.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past. Together they try methods and adjust as needed so the work fits the person's life and aims.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some people prefer video for face-to-face interaction while others use audio for lower bandwidth or quicker appointments. The focus is on making the work practical and usable in everyday life rather than on rigid format rules.
