About Yolanda
Yolanda Orta Swope is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of experience in Texas. She works with adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, and relationship strain. Many people come to her because symptoms at home or work feel overwhelming and linked to life events.
She helps clients look at both personal struggles and how those struggles affect important relationships. That can mean talking through feelings, noticing patterns in behavior, and learning practical ways to respond differently. Sessions often include skill building and increasing understanding of how past experiences shape current reactions.
Yolanda uses straightforward language and keeps conversations focused on concrete steps people can try between sessions. She aims to balance emotional processing with tools that make daily life easier. Parents, people navigating separation, and those coping with grief or workplace stress may find this approach useful.
Her work includes attention to issues such as panic disorder and panic attacks, addictions, ADHD, and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people facing blended family dynamics, cancer-related distress, and fatherhood issues. Yolanda offers therapy in English and Spanish and brings over a decade of practical experience to each meeting.
People who prefer clear goals and a mix of processing and skill practice tend to fit well with her style. She focuses on small, manageable changes that add up over time, and checks in about what is working as therapy progresses.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Yolanda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing different behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and panic attacks. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand important feelings and how those feelings affect close relationships and connection.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process and is done together. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adjust the plan as needed. That makes therapy a collaborative effort rather than a one-size-fits-all process.
Confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, avoid travel time, and allow quick check-ins when needed. It can also let someone continue work while managing parenting, work, or medical commitments. Therapists and licensed professionals will discuss the best rhythm and format for sessions during the matching and scheduling steps.
