About Yoshonna
Yoshonna Sanders is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with 21 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, grief, and anger. She also supports those facing life changes that feel overwhelming.
She focuses on family dynamics and how early attachments can shape current reactions. That includes communication problems, family of origin issues, and struggles with abandonment. She talks through patterns that keep people stuck and helps them notice alternatives.
Her work addresses trauma and the emotions that follow, including guilt, shame, and the need for forgiveness. She also helps people who face mood challenges such as panic, bipolar symptoms, and disruptive mood patterns. She uses clear, practical steps to manage intense feelings and reduce overwhelm.
Yoshonna draws on therapies that center the client’s experience and on evidence-based tools. She brings in cognitive work when thoughts fuel distress, and narrative ideas when reshaping a life story is helpful. Mindfulness techniques are used to steady attention and reduce reactivity.
People who seek her out often want to improve relationships, rebuild self-worth, or find steadier emotion regulation. She supports recovery from addiction, addresses intimacy and relationship issues, and helps with career stress and compassion fatigue. Sessions are intended to be direct and useful, with time spent on skills as well as understanding.
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead so they can make sense of what matters most and feel heard. It helps when someone needs space to tell their story and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It offers concrete skills for managing anger, anxiety, panic, and mood swings. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills to reduce reactivity and bring steadier focus during stressful moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean starting with skills-based CBT, adding mindfulness practices, or using narrative ideas to reframe difficult experiences. Decisions are revisited as progress is made.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use video or audio in ways that suit them. The emphasis is on practical support that fits everyday life while working toward clearer emotion regulation and improved communication.
