About Jolanda
Jolanda Forbes-Sheppard is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, grief, parenting concerns, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Her work also includes communication problems, social anxiety and phobia, life purpose, and self-love.
She uses straightforward, person-centered conversations to help people sort out what feels most urgent. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps and clearer communication rather than abstract theories. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used when helpful to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes.
Jolanda pays attention to identity and culture and treats those factors as part of everyday life rather than added labels. She aims to listen first, then help clients decide on manageable goals for mood, relationships, or daily functioning. That might mean practicing new ways to speak up, adjusting routines to reduce stress, or trying simple experiments to shift anxious thinking.
Clients can expect a regular check on progress and adjustments when something isn’t working. She describes her role as a practical partner who offers direct feedback alongside open listening. The focus is on usable tools people can try between sessions.
People interested in starting are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fee details vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's concerns. The therapist helps people speak through what matters and decide practical next steps, which can be useful for relationship issues, grief, and figuring out life direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses short experiments and skill practice to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful patterns of behavior.
Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust plans based on what helps most. Sessions are meant to be a two-way effort with regular check-ins about progress.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It can also allow sessions that focus on talking, practicing communication skills, or reviewing CBT exercises in between busy days.
