Yolanda Orta Swope , LPC

Yolanda Orta Swope is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of clinical experience in Texas. She works with adults who are facing anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, and life transitions. She speaks English and Spanish and helps people connect personal struggles with how those struggles affect important relationships.

Her approach balances attention to individual feelings and to relationship patterns. She helps people name and process emotions, notice unhelpful behavior cycles, and build practical skills for daily life. Many clients find it useful to combine personal work with attention to how their reactions show up around partners, children, parents, or at work.

Yolanda uses clear, goal-oriented techniques so sessions stay focused and useful. She offers ideas for coping, communication, and problem solving. She also works on topics like grief, addiction, parenting stress, workplace pressure, and intimacy concerns when those issues come up.

Clients who prefer straightforward, actionable sessions often do well with her style. She supports people who want both emotional processing and concrete skill building. She will tailor the balance of conversation, exercises, and coaching to the person's needs.

Sessions can include exploring past hurts, practicing new ways to respond, and setting small reachable steps between meetings. Her work is practical and steady, aimed at helping people feel more capable in daily life and in their closest relationships.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Yolanda uses methods that keep work focused and practical. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It helps people change unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, centers on emotions and attachment patterns in relationships. It helps people understand strong feelings, improve emotional connection, and address intimacy-related concerns and family patterns.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily needs to decide which methods to use. Sessions often combine techniques so the plan fits the person and the problem rather than following a single fixed model.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls make it possible to have face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions can be a simpler way to check in when video is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short updates, coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy days.
