About Yolanda
Yolanda Knox is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with five years of clinical experience and over 20 years working in social service roles. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anger, relationship tension, grief, depression, anxiety, and life changes. Her style is straightforward and grounded.
She focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. She draws on both Client-Centered Therapy and cognitive behavioral tools to tailor work to each person's needs.
Background and approach
That means sessions often begin by listening closely to what matters most to the client, then trying small, manageable changes to thoughts and behaviors. Homework and real-life practice are common parts of the plan. Knox has a long background supporting people affected by domestic violence, trauma, and adoption or foster care situations.
She also has experience addressing issues related to ADHD, substance use, compassion fatigue, and sexuality concerns such as BDSM and kink. Her work includes helping people with parenting stress, blended family challenges, and workplace or career strain. In sessions she aims to highlight a person’s existing strengths and to make goals feel achievable.
She supports clients exploring identity, intimacy questions, and communication problems. She also helps people manage impulses, control issues, and patterns of codependency. Yolanda practices in Oklahoma and works with English-speaking clients.
She accepts international clients and offers multiple online formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Approaches Yolanda lists

How her approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on what the client already knows about their life. In this approach the therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects concerns back, and helps the person decide what changes feel right for them. It is useful for issues like codependency, identity questions, and emotional processing.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, works by identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce distress. Sessions often include specific exercises and short tasks to practice between meetings, which can help with anger, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Finding the best fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to choose which approach, or combination of approaches, feels most useful based on goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted as progress is made so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation when bandwidth permits, phone is an option when video is difficult, live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins and ongoing support. These options let people fit sessions into a busy week, manage shorter check-ins, and choose the format that helps them engage most effectively.
