Yolanda's Therapeutic Approach
Yolanda believes therapy should be tailored to the person, not the other way around. She draws from several therapeutic approaches to help clients explore their experiences, recognize their strengths, and find practical ways to move forward.
​
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
​
ACT can help you develop greater psychological flexibility, clarify what matters most to you, and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or emotions are present.
​
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
​
CBT explores the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It can help you recognize patterns that contribute to distress and develop more helpful ways of responding.
​
Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed approach
​
IFS explores the different parts of our internal experience and how past experiences may shape the ways we respond to ourselves and the world around us.
​
Motivational Interviewing
​
Motivational Interviewing can help you explore ambivalence, strengthen your own motivation, and identify changes that feel meaningful and achievable. This approach can be especially helpful when navigating substance use and recovery goals.
Person-Centered and Strength-Based Therapy
Yolanda values each client's individual experiences, strengths, and perspectives. Her approach emphasizes collaboration, respect, and helping people recognize their own capacity for growth.
​
Trauma-Informed Therapy
​
A trauma-informed perspective recognizes that past experiences can influence present emotions, relationships, and beliefs about yourself. Therapy can provide space to explore these connections while building understanding and supportive ways forward.
Online Therapy Throughout Montana
Yolanda currently provides online therapy exclusively, making it possible for adults across Montana to access support without traveling to a physical office.
​
Whether you live in Missoula, Billings, Bozeman, Great Falls, Kalispell, Helena, or a smaller Montana community, online therapy can offer a convenient way to connect with a therapist from a private space.
Online therapy may be a helpful option if you:
​
-
Live outside a larger Montana community or have limited access to local providers.
-
Prefer the convenience of attending sessions from home.
-
Have work, family, mobility, or transportation demands that make in-person appointments difficult.
-
Want consistent support while navigating anxiety, depression, recovery, or life changes.
You must be physically located in Montana when attending sessions.
