Hi, my name is Yolanda. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over over 14 years of therapy experience in various treatment settings.
Some people come to therapy looking for support, a place to vent and process, or to make specific changes. Perhaps you want to better understand yourself, improve your relationships, or work through a past trauma that still affects you. As a licensed therapist and life coach, I can help.
I can help you address life challenges, make healthier decisions, work on self-esteem and confidence, and improve your interpersonal relationships. My goal is to help my clients achieve a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling quality of life.
My approach is holistic, person-centered, strengths-focused, and collaborative. I believe in adapting to the unique needs of each client. You are the expert on your life, and I bring the clinical expertise to help guide you to the solutions you are looking for.
We all have our journey in life, and I am honored to play a helping role in yours. If you’re ready to do the work, I’m right there with you.
Talk soon!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Yolanda is great, she is very reflective and makes sure to address your areas of growth and keep that in the forefront of your conversations.
Yolanda's evidence based approach makes me feel confident in her ability to help me.
Yolanda listens and helps me work through things at my own pace, yet still holds me accountable for my growth. She responds quickly and always provides relevant feedback.
A lot of my anxiety about therapy was "wasting my therapist's time," afraid I was saying too much about the wrong things. I feel extremely comfortable sharing as much as I feel I need to about any topic with Yolanda. It never feels like I am 'Too much.'
Yolanda is very warm, easy to talk to, and very quick to respond to any need I have. She’s been great at helping me work through my issues.
Yolanda is a great counselor. She actively reads/listens, adds value to the conversation by responding in depth, and asks questions that help you evaluate on your own. She's a compassionate, qualified professional - you would be lucky to be matched with her!
If you are looking for a non-bias and factual advisor then this is the right person. Yolanda has listened to my troubles and dilemmas and broke it down and given me great guidance. I would highly recommend her for relationship and motivational help.
I am so grateful to have Yolanda guide me through a rough time of my life. I was completely new to therapy, but working with Yolanda is a smooth sail. She always analyzes my messages concisely and shares many valuable insights. I often bring up about my experience working with Yolanda with my friends because I genuinely feel the positive impact of her words. To quote my best friend whom I told my therapy experience: "Yolanda is the real MVP!"
Yolanda Vazquez is an excellent counselor who listens intently and provides substantive feedback containing clear guidance for understanding my emotional issues and strategies for resolving them.
