01About Yolanda
Yolanda Fajardo-Vela offers a calm, client-centered approach to therapy. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, who focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Sessions aim to help people name what’s hard and make small, doable changes.
Yolanda draws on 15 years of experience in mental health work. She helps with stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She also supports people dealing with grief, career strain, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Additional focus areas include abandonment, attachment issues, guilt and shame, and women’s issues. In sessions she listens first and follows each person’s pace. She works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts.
Mindfulness skills and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used to build coping skills when emotions feel intense. Clients can expect goal-setting, skills practice, and checking progress over time. Conversations often include finding strengths, setting realistic steps, and shifting patterns that cause pain.
The tone is practical and encouraging, aimed at steady change rather than quick fixes. Yolanda practices in Texas and offers services in English. She holds LPC and LPCC credentials.
Her background emphasizes steady support, straightforward tools, and a belief that people have answers inside them when given guidance to find them.

04Online support
How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. Online sessions let the therapist reflect back what matters most and build a treatment plan from the client's goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT online is useful for managing anxiety, depression, and social anxiety by practicing skills between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will pick methods and adjust them over time so the plan fits each person's needs and pace.
Online formats offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people see facial cues and use real-time conversation. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or people prefer not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging are good for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while keeping the focus on practical coping and steady progress.
