About Yolanda
Yolanda Orta Swope is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, and the everyday strain of relationships and family life.
She notices how personal struggles and close relationships often link together. Many clients start by talking about symptoms like anxiety or anger and then discover how these issues affect partners, children, parents, or work. She supports both the personal side and the relationship side of these concerns.
In sessions she helps people process feelings and behaviors in straightforward ways. She also teaches practical skills to manage symptoms and to improve communication with others. That might include learning new ways to respond to stress or practicing clearer ways to say what matters.
Her work covers a wide range of topics tied to family and parenting concerns. These include blended family issues, fatherhood matters, divorce and separation, family of origin problems, and parenting stress. She also addresses related topics such as grief, intimacy struggles, addictions, and workplace stress.
Yolanda uses approaches rooted in evidence-based therapies. She works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people change unhelpful patterns and build practical skills. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish for Texas-based clients.
How sessions work
How clinical approaches guide online work
Yolanda draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to structure online sessions. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and patterns and learning small, practical skills to change them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and behavior changes.Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at emotional patterns in close relationships and helps people name feelings, respond differently, and increase understanding between partners or family members. Solution-Focused Therapy keeps sessions goal-directed and looks for steps that create quick, manageable change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That means adjusting pacing, choosing exercises, and deciding when to focus on feelings or on skills.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping therapy consistent around life demands. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how appointments are offered. Online sessions can make check-ins easier, allow shorter problem-focused meetings, or remove travel time so therapy fits into a lunch break or an evening at home.
