Yolanda Orta Swope, LPC

Yolanda Orta Swope is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of practice in Texas. She meets adults who want help with anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, and how those problems show up in daily life. She speaks English and Spanish and works with people to untangle personal struggles from relationship stress.

She looks at both the individual and relationship sides of problems. Sessions often include talking through feelings and behaviors. She also offers skill-building to handle strong emotions and tense situations.

Yolanda uses practical tools to help clients notice patterns that keep them stuck. She helps people try new responses and track what changes. This can include ways to manage panic, cope with grief, or reduce work-related stress.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Those methods guide short-term problem solving and deeper work on relationship patterns when needed.

People come to her for a range of concerns, including parenting struggles, blended family issues, addiction-related worries, and career or workplace stress. She also supports those facing life changes like divorce, pregnancy and childbirth, or cancer-related challenges.

In sessions, she balances listening with practical steps clients can try between meetings. Her goal is to help people feel clearer about choices and more able to handle daily pressures.

How her approaches translate to online work

Yolanda often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thoughts and behaviors that drive anxiety and depression. CBT focuses on testing unhelpful thoughts and practicing different responses to reduce symptoms like panic and worry.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions shape close relationships. EFT helps clients name core feelings and change interaction patterns that lead to repeated conflict or distance.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to figure out what methods match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That plan can shift as clients try strategies and notice what helps most.

If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or remove the need to travel to an office. Talk with her about your schedule and preferences so you can choose a rhythm that fits your life.
