About Yolanda
Yolanda Liriano-Kimbrough is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 27 years of experience to therapy. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with grief and loss, and work through trauma and abuse. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish for people in Arizona and international clients.
She often uses the Gottman Method alongside cognitive behavioral ideas and acceptance strategies. In session she focuses on practical skills for calming the body, changing unhelpful thoughts, and improving daily routines.
Background and approach
Conversations aim to be straightforward and useful, not full of jargon. Yolanda creates a warm, nonjudgmental space for people to share hard feelings. She listens for the stories behind worries and helps people find small steps they can take.
Goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made. Her work also covers relationship stress, family strain, and common life challenges like divorce or caregiving strain. She addresses attachment concerns, abandonment issues, and the emotional impact of chronic illness.
Treatment plans are shaped around the person’s day-to-day life and responsibilities. In addition to therapy techniques, she uses mindful practices and, when appropriate, EMDR elements for processing trauma. Sessions combine emotional support with concrete tools so people can try new ways of coping between meetings.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Yolanda draws on the Gottman Method to address interaction patterns and communication problems in relationships, focusing on specific skills couples and individuals can practice in daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is used to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that reflect their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is applied to identify unhelpful thinking and build practical coping strategies for anxiety, mood, and stress.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. She discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods as needed. That collaborative process helps match techniques to what actually works in a person’s life rather than committing up front to a single method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework prompts, or when a written conversation feels easier. These options make it simpler to attend sessions from different schedules and locations while keeping focus on progress and practical tools.
