Yolanda Orta Swope, LPC — Therapist in Texas

Hi there, I'm Yolanda!

I help individuals and couples navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, parenting, divorce, and workplace challenges. I provide a supportive space where you can explore your needs, build resilience, learn coping skills, improve relationships, and manage stress. Through evidence-based techniques, we work together on your goals.

My focus

I work with individuals and couples seeking support through difficult times or working towards personal growth. Common issues include anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship conflicts, parenting challenges, divorce, family dynamics, workplace stress, and leadership development.

My approach

I use a customized blend of approaches tailored to your preferences. We might focus on talk therapy, practical skill building, or both. Sessions can include exploring perspectives, problem solving, coping skills for anxiety or depression, trauma processing, understanding relationship patterns, and creating a safe space to share without judgment.

My communication style

I create a space where you feel genuinely seen and understood. I offer emotional support, highlight your strengths, provide insight, and help with skill building. Sessions are collaborative and respectful, honoring your voice, goals, and pace. I offer counseling in English and Spanish.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've focused on emotional and relationship wellbeing because the quality of our relationships determines much of our happiness. Positive human connections are the basis of everything good, and I'm passionate about helping clients strengthen these connections to achieve their goals.

My goals for you

I help you reach your goals by first understanding what truly matters to you. Together, we set clear, realistic objectives and create a plan aligned with your values. I use evidence-based tools and practical strategies to build progress step by step while offering encouragement, reflection, and a framework to support present and future needs.

Our first session

We'll start with brief paperwork and discuss confidentiality and your rights. Then we'll explore what brings you to therapy, your needs, and goals. I'll ask about your emotional history and current life. You set the pace and depth. We'll develop therapy goals together and, if time allows, I'll offer a technique to jumpstart the process.
