Yvonne Schilling, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Yvonne

Yvonne Schilling is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years of clinical experience in Texas. She creates an affirming, respectful space where people can talk about stress, identity questions, grief, and emotional pain. Her work focuses on helping clients make sense of difficult feelings and find practical steps forward.

She often supports people coping with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and career or life changes. She also addresses issues related to trauma and abuse, intimacy, and self-esteem.

Background and approach

Her practice includes work relevant to LGBT concerns and adoption and foster care matters. Her style is direct but warm. She listens carefully and helps people build skills they can use between sessions.

She emphasizes clearer communication, stronger emotional regulation, and identifying values that guide decisions. Yvonne uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools support values-driven choices when avoidance feels overwhelming. She works in English and practices across a wide range of life challenges, including caregiver stress, family of origin issues, and coping with illness or loss.

Practical problem solving and steady emotional support are central to her work. If someone wants help sorting through a hard season, she focuses on clear steps and steady support.

How Yvonne’s approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and still choose actions that match their values. It’s useful for anxiety, avoidance, and life changes when someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. It is practical work for sleep problems, anxiety, and depression where skills and homework can make a difference. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationship patterns affect emotions and reactions. It can help people understand repeated relationship patterns and improve emotional connection.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they choose methods and adjust over time if something doesn’t fit.

Online sessions offer flexibility with multiple formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to keep continuity when life is busy, when travel is needed, or when shorter check-ins are helpful. The same therapeutic tools translate to remote formats, and sessions can include practical exercises, skills practice, and planning between meetings to keep progress moving forward.

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.
