About Yolanda

Yolanda Knox is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing anger, relationship tensions, and life changes. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her tone is supportive and straightforward, aimed at someone looking for calm and clear guidance.

Yolanda has worked in social services for over 20 years, including roles as a family advocate and case manager. That background shapes how she listens and responds to problems like domestic violence, trauma, and conflicts at home. She approaches each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build from.

In sessions she centers the person in front of her and uses tools from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral approaches. Those methods help people name unhelpful patterns and try different behaviors. Conversations often focus on small changes that make daily life easier.

She has five years as a licensed clinician in Oklahoma and years of prior direct-service experience. That mix gives experience with grief, parenting stress, mood concerns, ADHD, addiction struggles, and identity questions for 2SLGBTQ+ people. Yolanda aims to make therapy a practical step toward clearer thinking and better routines.

People who choose her find a calm listener who asks clear questions and suggests doable skills. She supports people through problem solving, setting boundaries, and managing strong emotions like anger. For those ready to start, she guides the next steps and helps set achievable goals.

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the client’s pace. It helps people feel heard, clarify what matters to them, and set goals that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to change them; it is often used for anger, anxiety, and mood concerns.

Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to try methods that match their goals and preferences. Progress is measured together and adjustments are made if something isn’t working well.

Check the current session options before booking to confirm how she offers online work. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use tools and worksheets during or between sessions to practice new skills in real life. Licensed professionals aim to help clients apply what is learned in therapy to everyday situations.
