Yolanda Orta Swope, LPC

Yolanda Orta Swope is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of experience supporting adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, anger, and the effects of trauma. She emphasizes how individual symptoms often connect to important relationships - with partners, children, parents, and coworkers - and helps clients explore both personal healing and relational patterns in tandem.

Yolanda combines emotional processing with practical skill building, guiding people to better understand their feelings and behaviors while learning tools for healthier communication and coping. Her work addresses a wide range of concerns, from everyday stress and career challenges to grief, addiction-related struggles, and intimacy issues.

Whether the focus is on individual growth or repairing and strengthening family and partner dynamics, Yolanda aims to meet each person where they are and tailor support to their priorities. She conducts therapy in English and Spanish and draws on evidence-informed techniques to help clients gain insight, develop new strategies, and move toward more satisfying relationships and daily functioning.

Approaches for Online Therapy and Flexible Care

Yolanda often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression and improve daily functioning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to explore and strengthen emotional bonds within relationships, helping partners and families express and respond to underlying feelings in ways that promote connection. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients set clear goals and build practical steps toward change, which is helpful for addressing specific problems like stress, parenting challenges, or career transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - Yolanda collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to the individual and their relationships.

Online therapy with Yolanda is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, geographical limitations, or varying comfort levels with communication. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and fit therapy into everyday life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who guide the process.
