About Yolanda

Yolanda Bouligny is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, family concerns, and anger. Sessions focus on practical steps to reduce reactive moments and handle everyday pressures more clearly.

Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented. She uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought patterns and create small behavioral changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used when people need concrete tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

Attachment-Based techniques inform work on relationship struggles, family of origin issues, and patterns that repeat across close relationships. Client-Centered Therapy principles guide the pace of sessions so the person sets priorities and moves at a manageable speed. Conversations cover both current problems and the patterns that lead to them.

Yolanda also addresses specific areas such as caregiver stress, abandonment concerns, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and coping with life changes. She talks through practical strategies for communication problems, control issues, and commitment worries. The tone is direct and practical rather than theoretical.

Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Texas. People who want to begin are asked to use the site's matching flow to schedule an initial appointment and decide on next steps.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without acting on them and to commit to value-driven actions. It is useful for chronic anger when reactions come from stuck thought patterns or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical exercises to reframe thoughts and change reactions. It suits workplace anger and recurring negative thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for moments of strong reactivity and when people need step-by-step tools.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, daily life, and what they find most helpful. That can mean trying one method for a few sessions and shifting if it does not fit.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove commute time so appointments are simpler to keep. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt exercises and worksheets for remote work to keep progress moving between sessions.
