Yolanda Welbon

I'm Yolanda, a LISW-CP with an MSW from the University of South Carolina School of Medicine, providing telehealth therapy to adolescents and adults across South Carolina through My Soul Therapy. I specialize in grief and loss, end-of-life care, chronic conditions, physical health stress, PTSD, anxiety, and depression — an often underserved space where the body and mind are deeply connected. My strength-based, collaborative approach draws from CBT, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and a Strength-Based lens to help clients build practical tools and move toward healing and wholeness.

CBT addresses the thought patterns driving anxiety, depression, and stress — helping you identify and shift what's keeping you stuck. Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) builds awareness and regulation, especially valuable when stress is showing up in your body. Motivational Interviewing guides us when you're navigating ambivalence about change. A Strength-Based lens means I start from what's already working in you and build from there. Grief and end-of-life work are held with particular care — these are sacred spaces, and I never rush them. My goal is for you to feel seen, empowered, and equipped with practical tools to navigate whatever you're facing.

The first session is a conversation, not an assessment. I'll ask what's brought you here, what you've been carrying, and what you're hoping feels different on the other side of this work. There's no pressure to have everything figured out — and no rush to be anywhere other than where you are. By the end, you'll have a clearer sense of what working together looks like, and you'll know you're not walking this path alone.
