About Yolanda
Yolanda Knox is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Oklahoma who helps people manage anxiety, depression, ADHD concerns, relationship strain, and trauma. She works with adults navigating life changes, grief, addictions, and career stress. Her style is practical and respectful, aimed at helping people find workable steps forward.
Yolanda draws on over 20 years in social service roles, including five years as a family advocate and seven years as a case manager.
Background and approach
That background shaped how she listens for strengths and reliable supports in people’s lives. She treats each person as the expert on their own story and builds on what already works for them. In sessions she focuses on clear goals and everyday tools.
She uses client-centered conversations to understand what matters most to each person. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns of thinking that get in the way and to try new behaviors that can help. People often seek her help for relationship and family conflict, parenting strain, identity and LGBT questions, and trauma and abuse recovery.
She also supports those coping with burnout, compassion fatigue, and issues around intimacy, attachment, or abandonment. Yolanda approaches change as a collaborative process. She offers calm guidance, practical strategies, and steady encouragement while helping clients test small steps that add up to bigger shifts.
How her approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's priorities. In practice that means sessions begin by asking what matters most and shaping sessions around those goals. This approach helps people who want support that fits their values and pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Yolanda uses simple CBT tools to identify unhelpful thinking and to try small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety, depression, or stress. These techniques are practical and easy to use between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Yolanda will talk with people about their needs and preferences and then suggest methods to try together. She treats plans as adjustable, checking in to see what helps and refining strategies over time.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let therapists and clients see each other for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can work when internet bandwidth is limited or when being off-camera helps someone focus. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework discussions, or when a written format feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or family demands.
