About Yolanda
Yolanda Orta Swope is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of practice. She works with adults who face anxiety, depression, anger, and trauma and notes how these problems often connect to relationships and family life.
She helps people look at both personal struggles and how those struggles affect partners, children, parents, and work. Sessions include talking through feelings and behaviors, learning practical skills, and improving understanding of relationship patterns. She uses straightforward methods to address current symptoms and everyday challenges.
In session she balances processing emotions with skill building. That can mean identifying thought patterns that fuel anxiety, practicing ways to respond differently in family interactions, or setting small goals to manage stress. People get concrete steps to try between meetings and time to reflect on how those steps land.
Yolanda often notices links between current worries and the family people grew up in. She pays attention to roles, expectations, and repeated behaviors that keep showing up. This focus can help people who want to change how they relate to others or who want clearer boundaries and better communication.
She offers work that is practical and conversational. Sessions are for adults wanting to address mood, relationship strain, parenting stress, addiction concerns, grief, career issues, ADHD, or other listed areas. Conversations may include direct skills coaching, emotional processing, and planning next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Yolanda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. CBT is practical and often focuses on short-term changes to thinking and action.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions shape close relationships and interactions. EFT-style work helps people name emotions, understand patterns in attachment, and practice different ways of connecting that can reduce conflict and distance.
Solution-Focused Therapy appears in her work as setting clear, small goals and tracking progress. This approach concentrates on what is already working and on building steps that can be used between sessions to make steady change.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit the client's goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That may mean combining techniques across these approaches as the work develops.

Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit meetings into workdays, cut down travel time, or choose shorter check-ins when needed. The therapist and client can set a rhythm that fits everyday life and the practical demands of family and work.
