About Yolanda

Yolanda Bouligny is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. She works with those coping with life changes, relationship and family challenges, anger, and compassion fatigue. Yolanda speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

She practices in Texas and holds an LPC, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor. In sessions she aims to create a calm space where clients can talk through what matters most.

Background and approach

She uses evidence-based methods to teach skills for managing strong emotions and for moving toward clearer values and goals. Therapy can include learning new ways to communicate, manage stress, and face painful memories with support. Yolanda draws from several approaches, including acceptance and commitment techniques, attachment-focused ideas, and cognitive behavioral tools.

She also uses elements of dialectical behavior and client-centered work to match what each person needs. Her style is collaborative and grounded in everyday language, not jargon. With three years of experience, she supports people dealing with complicated life situations such as abandonment, caregiver stress, family of origin problems, and guilt or shame.

She also addresses issues like hoarding, commitment worries, and attachment concerns. Sessions are offered in English for clients located in Texas. Her goal is to help people uncover, discover, and recover parts of themselves so they can move toward greater health and wholeness.

She encourages small, steady steps and clear skills that fit daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck and then take small steps toward what matters most. It is helpful for anxiety, depression, and decisions during life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It looks at how people connect, respond to hurt, and build trust, which can be useful for family and relationship concerns.

Yolanda works collaboratively to find the right approach for each person. She combines elements from different models when needed and helps clients choose methods that fit their goals, values, and daily life. Figuring out the best fit is part of the work together rather than a one-time choice.

Online therapy options include video visits, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to keep up with sessions around school, work, or caregiving duties. They also allow for shorter check-ins or longer therapy talks depending on what the client needs, offering flexibility while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
