About Yolanda
Yolanda Orta Swope is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of practice. She works with adults who bring anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, and related struggles. Many clients also want to address how those issues affect their relationships and family life. Sessions may include talking through feelings, building skills, and learning new ways to respond.
Yolanda focuses on both the individual and relational sides of problems. She helps people process emotions and notice how patterns show up with partners, parents, children, and at work. She also teaches practical skills to manage symptoms and improve communication.
Her approach draws on methods that help change thinking and behavior, strengthen emotional bonds, and set short-term goals. Those tools are used to address stress, grief, addiction, intimacy struggles, parenting concerns, and life transitions. Young adults facing career choices, moving out, or feeling behind are a common fit.
Yolanda can work in English and Spanish. She helps people navigate issues like ADHD, autism-related needs, blended family concerns, divorce, and workplace stress. Therapy can include both emotional processing and coaching for real-life problems.
Clients can expect clear, direct conversations with concrete steps to try between sessions. She combines emotional awareness with problem-solving so people leave with practical options they can use day to day.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Yolanda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT focuses on clear steps and exercises that can be practiced between meetings and are useful for depression, panic, and stress.Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to look at how emotions shape relationships. It helps people notice patterns with partners or family and learn different ways to respond so connections feel more understandable and manageable.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. She will help clients choose methods based on needs, goals, and preferences and adjust the plan as progress is made. That lets sessions be collaborative and goal-oriented.
