About Yoshonna

Yoshonna Sanders is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Louisiana with 21 years of experience. She works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and problems that follow big life changes. She also addresses relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, ADHD, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder.

Sanders focuses on family dynamics, attachment patterns, and communication problems. She helps people talk through abandonment, infidelity, and family-of-origin issues. She also supports those dealing with guilt, shame, forgiveness, and isolation.

In sessions she uses practical, person-focused methods. Expect straightforward conversations about patterns and small, testable changes to try between meetings. She blends client-centered work with cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness techniques as needed.

She includes motivational interviewing when people want help changing habits, and narrative therapy to reframe difficult stories. For trauma-related concerns she draws on trauma-focused ideas to address reactions and coping. The aim is to find manageable steps that fit daily life.

Sanders works in Louisiana and conducts sessions in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

BHow sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Yoshonna commonly draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness practices in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can better understand their feelings and choices. CBT looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to test and change them. Mindfulness practices teach ways to notice thoughts and bodily reactions, which can help with stress, anxiety, and mood regulation.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work with the therapist. She discusses goals, preferences, and everyday demands with each person and suggests a mix of methods that fit their needs. That collaborative process helps shape session focus and homework between meetings.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, caregiving, or travel. They also allow for shorter check-ins or longer focused meetings depending on what a person needs. The emphasis is on practical ways to apply CBT, mindfulness, or client-centered conversation to daily routines rather than on any single delivery method.
