About Yolanda
Yolanda Orta Swope is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of clinical practice. She works with adults who bring concerns such as anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, and stress. Sessions may include Spanish or English depending on the client's preference.
She notices how individual symptoms often link back to life experiences. Those patterns frequently affect close relationships - with partners, children, parents, and coworkers. She helps people name what they are feeling and understand how those feelings turn into actions that affect relationships.
In sessions she focuses on both internal processing and practical skills. That can mean talking through upsetting memories, tracking thoughts that increase anxiety, or practicing new ways of responding to conflict. She also teaches communication skills and strategies people can try between sessions.
Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and emotion-focused ideas to target thoughts, feelings, and interaction patterns. She also uses solution-focused methods to identify small, achievable changes clients can try right away. The emphasis is on observable steps clients can use in daily life.
People who come to her often want clear, structured work alongside time to process feelings. She supports parents, people managing life transitions, and those facing grief, addiction-related concerns, workplace stress, or intimacy issues. Sessions are practical and aim to build useful habits over time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Yolanda draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and emotionally-focused ideas to address thoughts, feelings, and interaction patterns. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new responses to reduce anxiety and low mood. EFT focuses on the emotional responses that shape close relationships and helps people notice and shift those patterns.She also uses solution-focused strategies that zero in on specific, achievable steps clients can try between sessions. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust based on what proves useful.
Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some people find video useful for role-play and practicing communication, while others prefer audio if they need less bandwidth or a quicker check-in. The focus is on choosing methods and session lengths that match the client's schedule and goals.
