About Yolanda
Yolanda Orta Swope is a Licensed Professional Counselor who has worked in Texas for 11 years. She focuses on adults who are trying to manage anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, and addictions. Her practice often looks at how those struggles affect close relationships and everyday life.
She helps people talk through what they are feeling and why those feelings show up. Sessions balance individual processing with practical skill building. That can mean learning new ways to respond, changing unhelpful thoughts, or practicing clearer communication with loved ones.
Background and approach
Her work often connects personal challenges to family and relationship patterns. Parents and people juggling work and family responsibilities may find the focus relevant. She also supports those facing grief, career transitions, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and workplace stress.
Yolanda uses straightforward tools from approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Those methods are used to set small goals, shift patterns, and try out different behaviors between sessions. Therapy is paced to each person's needs and priorities.
She offers services in English and Spanish and practices in Texas as an LPC. People who want coaching-style goal work, relief from symptoms, or help navigating family interactions can expect a practical approach. The focus is on making changes that fit daily life and relationships.

Online approaches that address relationships and parenting
Yolanda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and for managing day-to-day reactions that affect family life.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand and shift the patterns that happen in close relationships. EFT focuses on emotions and how partners or family members connect, which can be helpful when relationship patterns cause distress.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. From there she will use or combine approaches that match those needs and adjust the plan over time.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules. Video calls let people see and respond to emotion in real time. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is an issue or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can support quick problem-solving, coaching between sessions, and ongoing reminders about new skills. These options give flexibility for people balancing parenting, work, and other responsibilities.
