About Yolanda
Yolanda Liriano-Kimbrough is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 27 years of experience. She offers steady, practical support for people facing stress and anxiety. Her style is warm and straightforward, and she speaks English and Spanish.
She helps people manage anxiety, stress, grief, trauma, and relationship strain. Sessions focus on clear steps to reduce overwhelm and improve daily coping. Conversations are direct but kind, aimed at making life feel more manageable.
Background and approach
Her approach blends several methods. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and take small, meaningful steps. Cognitive behavioral tools help identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
When trauma is present she may use EMDR to address strong, persistent memories. Yolanda has worked across many settings over nearly three decades. That experience includes supporting people through major life transitions, loss, and complex family concerns.
She pays attention to practical problems like caregiver stress, chronic illness, money worries, and communication difficulties. People meet her for straightforward guidance on things like guilt, shame, isolation, body image, and attachment worries. She aims to build a trusting space where someone can talk honestly and practice new ways of coping.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session at a convenient time.
Evidence-informed approaches for online care
Yolanda commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clear on what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and trying practical changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also blends client-centered conversation into sessions to make sure the plan fits each person's needs. Deciding which approach to try is a joint process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up, then pick methods that make sense together.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which gives flexibility for different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face work and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can support brief updates, skills practice, or people who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to keep working on progress between sessions.
