Yolanda Adams-Johnson

Yolanda Adams-Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana who helps people facing grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She focuses on practical steps and gentle support so people can take the next step toward feeling better. Her approach centers on the person in front of her and their real-life strengths.

With eight years of experience, she draws on client-centered work that puts the client’s goals first. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions aim to be straightforward, focused, and paced to match each person’s needs.

Yolanda has experience addressing parenting concerns, caregiver stress, body image, and relationship communication problems. She also supports people dealing with mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, process addictions, and self-harm concerns. She can include spiritual perspectives from a Christian viewpoint when that fits the client.

In meetings she listens for what is going well and what gets in the way. Then she helps build small, manageable plans to try between sessions. Clients can expect clear goals, check-ins on progress, and practical tools they can use day to day.

She offers services in English and works within Louisiana practice guidelines. People who want to begin a conversation can use the site’s Start Therapy process to match and schedule a session.

How her approaches guide online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s priorities and supports them in finding their own solutions, which can help with grief, parenting stress, and self-esteem issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers simple tools to test and change unhelpful thinking and to build new habits, which is useful for depression, anxiety, and mood-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust over time. Together they decide what feels most helpful and practical.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also make it simpler to continue care during life transitions while maintaining regular appointments with a licensed professional.
