About Yolanda
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience, Yolanda Orta Swope focuses on anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, and relationship-related problems. She works with adults and provides services in English and Spanish. Her work addresses both individual symptoms and how those issues affect important relationships such as partners, children, parents, and work connections.
Yolanda pays attention to how a person’s life events shape current feelings and behavior. She helps people process emotions and symptoms, and she coaches on practical skills to respond differently. Sessions include straightforward conversations about what’s happening now and what patterns repeat in relationships.
She uses methods that emphasize problem solving and emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to notice thoughts and change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used to look at emotional responses in close relationships. Solution-Focused Therapy targets concrete steps and small changes that make daily life easier.
People who come wanting to reduce anxiety, manage anger, recover from trauma, or improve connection with others will find a mix of talk and skill practice. Yolanda balances time spent on personal processing with work on relationship dynamics and communication. She also supports concerns around parenting, blended families, work stress, grief, addiction, and life transitions.
She asks about the practical effects of problems at home and work, then builds simple strategies to try between sessions. The emphasis is on clear goals, measurable steps, and checking what does and does not work.

How her approaches translate to remote sessions
Yolanda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy as core parts of her work. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depression. EFT focuses on emotions in close relationships and helps people notice patterns that affect connection and communication.Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will talk with the client about goals, try methods that make sense for those goals, and check progress together. The initial sessions typically clarify whether more CBT-focused skill work or more emotion-focused work will be most helpful.
The therapist’s biography does not specify which session formats are offered online, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. Discuss format preferences during the matching process so sessions can be arranged around work, family, or other daily demands.
