About Yolanda

Yolanda Orta Swope brings 11 years of professional counseling experience to adults navigating anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, and other life challenges.

Background and approach

As an LPC licensed in Texas (TX LPC 66264), she blends attention to individual symptoms with a focus on how those struggles affect close relationships and family dynamics. Her work helps clients explore feelings and behaviors while building practical skills to manage stress, parenting demands, career shifts, and other stressors.

Yolanda emphasizes both individual processing and relational understanding, supporting clients as they develop insight and concrete strategies. She draws from cognitive behavioral techniques alongside emotionally-focused and solution-oriented methods to tailor interventions to each person’s needs.

Bilingual in English and Spanish, she offers therapy through multiple remote formats to fit varied schedules and preferences, helping people address issues such as grief, intimacy-related concerns, addictions, and life transitions with clarity and direction.

Therapeutic Approaches for Remote Healing and Growth

Yolanda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and many everyday stressors. She also incorporates Emotionally-Focused Therapy to explore how emotions shape relationships and to strengthen connection and understanding between people when relational issues arise.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she aims to collaborate with each client to find what fits best. Together they assess needs, goals, and preferences, and adapt methods over time so work remains relevant and practical for the client’s life.

Online therapy with her is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These remote options make it easier to access consistent support for parenting challenges, workplace stress, coping with life changes, and other concerns without the need to travel.
