About Yolanda
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 15 years of experience, licensed in Texas. Yolanda Fajardo-Vela focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, anger, career concerns, and compassion fatigue. She uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness Therapy in her work and conducts sessions in English.
Yolanda approaches therapy in a straightforward way. She listens first, then helps people name problems and set practical goals. She helps clients notice patterns of thinking and behavior, and practices skills to manage strong emotions and stress. Sessions often include talking, tried strategies from CBT and DBT, and brief mindfulness exercises to build everyday coping skills.
Her experience includes supporting people through trauma, grief, and life transitions. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, as well as guilt, shame, and forgiveness work. For social anxiety and phobia she uses exposure-minded techniques alongside skills for managing anxiety in the moment.
Yolanda also addresses women’s issues and the effects of compassion fatigue. She helps people identify what drains them and create boundaries or routines that reduce overwhelm. Work around parenting focuses on practical strategies parents can use day to day.

How her approaches inform remote work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can name what matters. It helps when someone needs support clarifying goals and recognizing strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and worries that get in the way of daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made or new challenges arise.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins, or avoid travel time. It also allows continuity of care during life transitions and provides a way to practice skills in everyday contexts. Licensed professionals can adjust session length and pacing to match what is practical for a client’s routine.
