About Yolanda
Yolanda Liriano-Kimbrough is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Arizona with 27 years of practice. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem. She works in both English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
Yolanda focuses on practical ways to manage daily stress and the thoughts that make social situations feel harder. She uses clear, evidence-based strategies and conversational work to address anxiety and mood concerns. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with attention to what feels most urgent for the person in front of her.
Her background includes long-term clinical experience across settings, where she supported people coping with loss, relationship change, and trauma. She draws on several approaches to suit different needs, including cognitive work to change unhelpful thinking and methods that address traumatic memories.
In session she listens for patterns related to attachment, abandonment, and communication that often underlie ongoing worry and isolation. She also assists with practical problems such as caregiver stress, chronic illness challenges, financial worries, and the fallout from separation or divorce.
Yolanda aims to help clients build skills they can use between meetings, such as mindfulness techniques and behavioral experiments. She works collaboratively to set clear goals and adjust methods when something is not helping. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values, often useful for ongoing anxiety and avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and adding small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses traumatic memories by using structured sets of attention and processing to lessen the emotional charge of those memories.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit best, based on the client’s goals and what feels manageable. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted if a technique does not seem helpful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or medical appointments and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people join from different locations, which can simplify scheduling across time zones for international clients.
