About Yolanda
Yolanda Liriano-Kimbrough is an Arizona Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 27 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem. She works with English and Spanish speakers and accepts international clients.
She helps people talk through relationship tensions and family-related strain. That includes communication problems, divorce and separation, and caregiver stress. She also addresses abandonment and attachment issues, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness.
Her work uses practical, evidence-based methods. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Client-Centered Therapy to help people notice thoughts, try new behaviors, and clarify values. EMDR is part of her toolkit for processing traumatic memories when appropriate.
Sessions look at everyday problems alongside deeper patterns. For parents or adults caring for others, she focuses on stress management and coping skills. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, body image concerns, money problems, and questions about life purpose.
Yolanda aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. She helps clients take practical first steps, one conversation at a time. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small value-based steps. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and problems that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and provides concrete tools for mood and worry. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process traumatic memories when that method is appropriate for a person's needs.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. Clients and the therapist work together to find what helps most for everyday life and for difficult events from the past.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a work break, remove travel time, or use a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Therapists commonly adapt ACT, CBT, and EMDR techniques to video or phone meetings, and the focus stays on practical skills and processing rather than on any particular technology.
