About Yolanda
Yolanda Orta Swope is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of counseling experience in Texas. She works with adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, and the ways these challenges show up in daily life. Yolanda uses plain, direct conversation to help people name what they are feeling and take small steps forward.
Many clients find that personal struggles connect to their relationships. Yolanda helps people look at both sides - the inner emotional work and the ways those feelings affect partners, children, parents, and work. She guides skills practice and clearer thinking so clients can respond differently in tense moments.
Her approach combines practical problem-solving and emotional focus. That means helping someone change unhelpful thoughts or habits while also looking at how emotions drive behavior in relationships. Sessions include talking through feelings, practicing new responses, and setting doable goals.
Yolanda also works with issues such as parenting strain, workplace stress, grief, addictions, ADHD, and life transitions. She supports people who are navigating separation, blended family concerns, pregnancy and childbirth, or challenges related to cancer and chronic stress.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. People interested in starting are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session based on therapist availability.
How her approaches translate to online work
Yolanda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. CBT is practical and often focuses on short-term changes in mood and behavior.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name emotions that affect their relationships. EFT helps repair connection by shifting how people respond to each other’s feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That choice is made together and may change as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow for quicker check-ins during work breaks, and avoid travel time. It can also let people meet from different locations while maintaining regular appointments and focused, goal-oriented therapy.
