About Yolanda
Yolanda Knox is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Oklahoma with five years of post-licensure experience. She combines that licensure with two additional years as a family advocate and seven years as a case manager. She works with people facing anger, relationship strain, trauma, parenting stress, and other life stresses.
She focuses on practical conversations that identify what is getting in the way day to day. Sessions look at how thoughts, routines, and communication habits keep problems going. She draws on client-centered approaches to listen closely to each person's priorities and on cognitive behavioral techniques to test new ways of thinking and acting.
Her background includes more than 20 years working with social service agencies. That experience includes work with domestic violence, 2SLGBTQ+ concerns, family conflict, and trauma and abuse. She uses that perspective to help people sort through complicated situations and safety-related questions when they arise.
In sessions she treats the person as the expert on their life while offering concrete steps to try between meetings. Those steps may include experiments in communication, routines to lower reactivity, and strategies to manage cravings or impulses. The aim is to make small changes that feel manageable and build over time.
People often come for help with anger, anxiety, depression, or relationship problems. She also supports parenting, career stress, grief, attention issues, and challenges linked to adoption or caregiving. Her practice welcomes international clients and offers work in English.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's priorities. In practice this means the therapist asks what matters most and helps shape sessions around those goals, whether the issue is anger, relationship tension, or grief.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Online work can include setting small experiments between sessions, practicing new communication skills, and tracking thoughts that increase reactivity or low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to decide which methods seem most useful based on your needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining client-centered support with CBT exercises and practical tools drawn from her social service experience.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling around work or family life, shorten travel time, and let people check in from locations that reduce background noise or interruptions. Discuss available formats when you schedule so sessions match your day-to-day needs.
