About Yulando

Yulando Thornton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 11 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage depression, anxiety, workplace stress, and substance use concerns. Her work centers on listening closely and creating a calm, respectful space to talk through difficult emotions.

She pays attention to each person's background and life story. This means conversations begin with what matters most to the individual, not a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions focus on practical steps that can be used between meetings to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Her practice addresses a wide range of issues, including communication problems, mood disorders, trauma and abuse, and addiction. She also supports people facing grief, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy challenges, and career-related stress. These topics are approached with clear goals and measurable steps when helpful.

Yulando draws on several evidence-informed methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered techniques. She blends these approaches to match a person’s needs and preferences rather than sticking strictly to one model.

Clients can expect collaborative sessions that emphasize building coping skills and emotional awareness. The work often includes practicing new habits, reframing unhelpful thoughts, and strengthening communication. Progress is discussed openly so goals can shift as life changes.

Her practice uses culturally responsive methods and respects diverse life experiences. People who want straightforward, practical support for mood, stress, addiction, or career concerns may find her style helpful.

How approaches like ACT and CBT work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It focuses on accepting difficult thoughts while committing to meaningful steps, which can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It uses short exercises and practice tasks to test unhelpful thoughts and build new habits, which is useful for worry, mood shifts, and workplace stress.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard and understood. The therapist follows the person’s pace and uses empathy to help clarify goals, which supports people processing trauma, grief, or relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. It also allows for flexible check-ins and homework review between sessions.
