About Yolanda
Yolanda Orta Swope is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, and related concerns. Her approach looks at how personal struggles affect daily life and close relationships.
She listens first, helping people make sense of their feelings and reactions. Sessions combine talking through emotions with practical skill building. She supports clients in noticing patterns and trying new ways of responding.
Background and approach
Yolanda pays attention to both individual needs and relationship patterns. Many clients discover that emotional or behavioral issues link back to family history, parenting roles, work stress, or past loss. She helps people separate what is happening inside them from how they relate to others.
Her work can involve learning coping tools for anger and anxiety, improving communication, and managing life changes. She also addresses topics such as grief, addiction concerns, intimacy issues, and career stress. For clients with ADHD or autism-related concerns, she focuses on practical strategies that fit daily life.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Yolanda uses methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to match each person’s needs. The result is a straightforward, skills-oriented process aimed at clearer thinking and better relationships.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Yolanda often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger because it focuses on practical steps and skill building.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions shape close relationships. EFT helps when patterns of disconnect or repeated conflict affect partners or family interactions by focusing on emotional experience and connection.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then try methods that match each person’s needs. Clients and therapist review progress together and adjust methods as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and practicing new skills, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or other routines.
