Yvonne Schilling, LPC

Yvonne Schilling is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years of clinical experience in Texas. She guides people through stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes in a calm, straightforward way. Her practice focuses on helping individuals sort through difficult feelings and find clearer paths forward.

Yvonne creates an affirming space that respects identity and personal pace. Sessions emphasize listening, real conversation, and practical steps clients can try between meetings. She often works on communication skills, coping strategies, and rebuilding daily routines that support better sleep and mood.

Her background includes long experience supporting people dealing with relationship strain, workplace stress, and identity questions. Yvonne also addresses trauma and attachment challenges, and she brings focused attention to issues like abandonment, adoption and foster care, and blended family concerns. She uses this experience to help people make sense of patterns that repeat across relationships.

Therapeutic work draws on several approaches to match each person’s needs. Techniques come from cognitive behavioral therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, along with client-centered and attachment-based methods. Emotionally-Focused Therapy tools are used when relationship and intimacy topics are central.

Sessions aim to build skills for coping and clearer decision making. People often leave with small, doable steps to try at home and a plan for addressing ongoing stressors. To begin, the process includes a brief intake and collaborative goal setting.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that align with what matters. It helps when worry or avoidance get in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. This can be useful for stress, anxiety, and sleep difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Confirm the current session options before booking to learn which online formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, skip commute time, or have shorter check-ins when weeks are tight. They also let you continue work during life transitions or when travel makes in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT tools to an online setting so clients practice skills between appointments and track progress over time.
