Yolanda Orta Swope is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of clinical experience in Texas. She works with adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, anger, and trauma. Her approach links individual struggles with the ways those struggles show up in important relationships and daily life. She helps people process emotions and learn practical skills for behavior change. Sessions often focus on understanding patterns, building coping tools, and practicing new ways of interacting with others. Yolanda combines structured techniques with attention to feelings so clients can make steady progress. In her work she pays close attention to how life events affect mood and relationships. Many clients find that addressing both the personal and relational sides of a problem brings clearer results. She supports people who want help with parenting strains, workplace stress, addiction concerns, grief, and career questions. Yolanda uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide sessions. These methods are used to break down problems into manageable steps, improve communication, and set realistic goals. She speaks English and Spanish when needed. Her sessions aim to be practical and focused. People typically leave with clearer next steps, tools to try between sessions, and a plan for moving forward.

How her approaches guide online work

Yolanda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. CBT breaks problems into small parts so clients can try new skills between sessions and track progress. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand and name strong feelings and how those feelings affect relationships. EFT can be useful when emotion patterns are getting in the way of connection. Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and may shift as therapy progresses. For practical matters, please confirm available session formats before booking. This helps ensure the chosen setup fits your routine. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from wherever they are without traveling.
