About Yolanda
Yolanda Townes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage anger and recover after difficult experiences. She focuses on practical steps to rebuild self-esteem and to handle life changes, including career concerns. Her tone in sessions is direct and compassionate.
She aims to make the first conversations straightforward and understandable. She works with people dealing with trauma and abuse and supports those facing isolation and social anxiety. She helps clients untangle guilt, shame, and forgiveness so they can move forward.
Background and approach
Communication problems and strained relationships often come up, and she offers tools to improve everyday interactions. Her approach centers on creating a real connection and listening to each person's story. She uses methods that emphasize the client's perspective and practical problem solving.
This includes cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to address thoughts and reactions in the moment. Yolanda also draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people see patterns that repeat over time. Motivational interviewing is part of her toolkit when someone is figuring out next steps, such as career moves or life changes.
Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that fit into daily life. She brings ten years of counseling experience in Alabama to her work. Conversations are held in English.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective. It emphasizes the client's own goals and values and is useful for building trust and exploring emotions like anger, shame, and grief.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behavior connect. It uses simple tools to change unhelpful thinking patterns and to practice new responses, which can help with mood difficulties, social anxiety, and anger management.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention to the present moment in a nonjudgmental way. It helps reduce reactivity and supports calmer responses to triggers and stressors.
Finding the right approach often happens together. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking. Many people find online work easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow more consistent check-ins. Some formats can also be useful when someone prefers shorter or camera-free meetings. Ask about session options when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements match your routine and needs.
