    About Yoshonna

    Yoshonna Sanders is a licensed clinical social worker with 21 years of practice supporting people through life’s hardest moments. She guides folks dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, grief, trauma, and big life transitions in a calm, steady way.

    She focuses on family dynamics, communication patterns, and attachment issues. She also helps people process abandonment, infidelity, guilt, and shame. Work often includes building self-worth and coping skills for panic, mood challenges, and the daily strain of caregiving or compassion fatigue.

    Her style centers on listening closely and following each person’s pace. Sessions aim to clarify what matters most, identify small workable steps, and use a person’s own strengths to move forward. Motivational Interviewing is one approach she uses to help people find motivation for change.

    She draws on several methods to meet different needs, including client-centered work that keeps the person’s priorities first, cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior, and narrative techniques to reframe personal stories. Mindfulness practices are offered when people want ways to manage stress and stay present.

    Yoshonna practices in Louisiana and brings a culturally responsive attitude to the work. Her goal is to help people reconnect with themselves, strengthen relationships, and build practical skills for daily life. She invites curious, motivated people to explore change at their own speed.

  2. How her approaches translate to online work

    Client-centered therapy puts the person’s goals and experience first. In this approach the therapist follows what matters most to the client, listens closely, and helps shape next steps that feel right for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and improve functioning. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and build commitment to small, realistic steps forward. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That might mean trying a few techniques and adjusting as progress is made. Confirm the session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or make it simpler to join from different locations. Many people find online sessions help maintain momentum between appointments and introduce practical skills into everyday routines.
