Yolanda Adams-Johnson, LCSW

Yolanda Adams-Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana. She focuses on helping people facing grief, parenting stresses, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Her approach centers on listening and working with each person's strengths to find practical ways forward.

She draws on eight years of clinical experience to support people through loss and transitions. Sessions often look at everyday routines and thought patterns that keep problems stuck. Yolanda also integrates conversations about faith when a client wants a Christian perspective.

Yolanda uses client-centered principles to make space for each person’s story. She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. Together with the client she sets small, manageable goals that fit real life.

Her work includes support for people dealing with mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, caregiver stress, body image concerns, and process addictions such as gambling or problematic sexual behaviors. She also addresses communication problems, guilt, isolation, and issues tied to divorce and separation.

Yolanda aims for practical, short-term changes alongside deeper processing when needed. She encourages people to notice strengths they already have and to use those strengths to try new approaches. The first step, she says, is often the hardest, and she offers steady support through that process.

How her approaches translate to online support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s pace. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to tell their story, build confidence, and clarify values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps with depression, anxiety, mood patterns, and behaviors someone wants to change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. They will try techniques, check what helps, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into busy schedules, manage short check-ins during a work break, or avoid travel time. Online work can also make it simpler to involve conversations about faith or daily routines in the moment. Confirm the available session formats when you set up the first appointment so you can pick what fits your life.
