Rational Emotive Behavior (REBT) Therapists in Bryant, AR

My goal as a therapist is to help people become more the master of their lives so they are living as fully, effectively, and joyfully as they want. I help clients resolve past traumas & issues and gain new skills in self-confidence, relationships, and accomplishing life's goals. During my 30+ years as a therapist, I have taught psychotherapy at graduate schools (8 years) in Indonesia and The Philippines as well as maintaining a full-time private practice specializing in depression, grief, relationships, parenting, divorce, phobias, anxiety, anger management, PTSD with military personnel and survivors of trauma / abuse; and cross-cultural & inter-faith issues.

Having worked as a LCSW for over 24 years, I assist my clients in identifying the strengths and skills they already possess. Then strive to work with them to find practical skills that fit their lifestyle and are useful in helping them reach the goals they have set for themselves towards a much happier and peaceful life.

Greetings. I'm Yulonda Ross and I specialize in Substance Use Disorders and I provide counseling for anger management as well. Are you struggling with trying to quit using alcohol and drugs? Has your relationship been affected by your substance use? Is all of your leisure time consumed with using? You’re probably full of emotions, questions, and doubts. You may be wondering what I do now; is there any hope; and is it even possible to get better? You may be feeling overwhelmed, scared, and stressed. People do overcome substance abuse and return back to a healthy lifestyle. I’ll help steer you in the right direction.

We believe there is hope and positive change possible for each individual and family.

These extra trainings have included specific measures that are necessary for work with the veteran and active military community.

Are you or your loved ones struggling with emotional pain, past hurts, current events, or behaviors that interfere with daily life? Is it time for change? Imagine overcoming these challenges and finding that calm, inner peace. Sometimes you just need to talk to process your thoughts and emotions. Let’ explore the barriers that impair one’s ability to move forward or make changes. I have many years of experience working with children, teens, parents, and adults in both the school setting and in therapy concerning low self-worth, anxiety, depression, trauma, divorce, life adjustments, and behavior.

Behavior change is applicable to everyone, not just those with psychological distress. I specialize in behavior change and communication. I offer direct, compassionate feedback, problem solving, and a fair evaluation of the circumstances.

I believe that no two people are alike and that your therapeutic experience depicts your nature and nurture that makes up whom you are today. As your therapist, we'll actively work on developing “good” emotional health; as we explore what has directly/indirectly affected you and has impacted whom you are, today. What I am seeking in a client, is an individual that is motivated for a change in their life. With that, I will need your dedication and commitment to this process. Will this be difficult and challenging at times? Yes, it will be. “Challenges is what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.” J.M.

My ideal client is self motivated, verbally expressive, with therapy goals of improvement and growth. They ask questions and use suggestions from session. They usually like homework and I love to see the change in them.
