Yolanda Orta Swope, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Yolanda

Yolanda Orta Swope is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of clinical work in Texas. She helps adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, and stress. She also pays close attention to how those problems affect the people around them and their daily relationships.

Her approach combines individual work and relationship-focused care. Clients talk through feelings and behaviors in one-on-one sessions. They also learn practical skills to improve communication and reduce conflict at home or work.

Background and approach

Yolanda uses straightforward tools to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change small habits that cause big problems. She brings methods from cognitive behavioral therapy to manage symptoms and build coping skills. She also draws on emotionally-focused therapy to strengthen connection where relationships feel strained.

Sessions can include skill building, guided discussion, and short coaching-style exercises. Yolanda often helps clients set clear, achievable goals and track progress over time. The work can address parenting and broader family issues as needs emerge.

She offers services in both English and Spanish and practices across a range of life concerns, from grief and addiction to workplace stress and young adult transitions. Her style is direct but compassionate, aimed at helping people make practical changes that improve daily life.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Yolanda uses approaches that translate well to online work and that many people find practical for day-to-day problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, helps people name feelings and shift interaction patterns so relationships feel more connected and safe. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, achievable steps and immediate goals to produce quick, useful changes.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. She will ask about your goals, what has worked before, and what matters most to you. Together you can try one method and adjust as needed so the work fits your needs and schedule.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you recreate a live session from home, while phone sessions work well when video isn't possible. Live chat and text-based messaging provide ongoing check-ins and brief coaching between sessions. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and to continue work during life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
