About Yolanda
Yolanda Aguinaga is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 32 years of experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, grief, depression, relationship problems, and anger. She meets clients in English and Spanish and supports international clients as well.
Yolanda believes people are the experts on their own stories. She works to build on each person's strengths and to create a practical path forward.
Background and approach
Her style is straightforward and supportive; she helps people take small, manageable steps toward change. In sessions she listens first, then offers tools that match the person's goals. She uses techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches to help shift unhelpful thinking and from acceptance-focused work to increase valued action.
She also draws on client-centered methods to keep the pace set by the person in the room. Yolanda often helps people manage overwhelming emotions and recurring patterns that make life harder. That includes challenges like trouble sleeping, low self-esteem, difficulty with boundaries, and coping with major life changes.
She also addresses issues such as trauma, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and body image concerns. Her aim is to support people who want clear, practical steps and steady encouragement. She guides clients through decision points, helps them build coping strategies, and supports progress over time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Yolanda often draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her online work. ACT focuses on identifying values and taking actions that matter, even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It can help people who feel stuck or are trying to move forward after loss or big changes. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete techniques to change patterns that keep problems going, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and anger.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Yolanda meets each person where they are, listens to their goals, and then suggests which methods to try first. Together they check what feels helpful and adjust the approach as needed so treatment matches the person's needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and situations. Video sessions let people work face-to-face when they can be on camera. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can work well for a shorter check-in. Live chat or messaging supports quick reflections, ongoing coaching, or check-ins between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, or travel.
