Yolanda Orta Swope, LPC

Yolanda Orta Swope is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, and related struggles. Yolanda keeps conversations direct and practical so people can start making changes quickly.

Her work often connects personal symptoms to relationship patterns. Many clients find that feelings of anxiety or depression affect their partnerships and family roles. Yolanda helps people look at both individual experiences and how those experiences show up with partners, children, parents, and at work.

In sessions she combines talking through feelings with building everyday skills. That can mean learning ways to manage intense emotions, changing unhelpful thinking, or practicing new ways to interact with others. She uses clear tools to help clients take steps between sessions.

Yolanda has particular experience supporting people through life changes like divorce, blended family transitions, becoming a parent, grief, and workplace stress. She also works with issues such as ADHD, addictions, and intimacy concerns. Her approach aims to link immediate coping with longer term problem solving.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. People interested in starting a conversation can use the site to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a session based on the therapist's availability.

How her approaches translate to online care

Yolanda uses methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in straightforward ways. CBT focuses on noticing thoughts and testing unhelpful thinking, which can reduce anxiety and depression by changing what people do between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on identifying and naming emotions, then practicing different ways to connect with partners and family members to improve understanding and closeness.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client discuss goals, daily needs, and what feels manageable. They then try techniques that match those goals and adjust plans based on what helps most over time.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and practice coping skills in everyday settings. It can also allow for bilingual sessions in English or Spanish. Talk with the therapist about how to shape sessions so they work with your schedule and the issues you want to address.
