About Yolanda

Yolanda Bouligny is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, anger, compassion fatigue, and relationship and family concerns.

Background and approach

She also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment wounds, caregiver stress, communication and commitment difficulties, and challenges related to aging and hoarding. Yolanda integrates evidence-informed methods to help clients navigate life transitions, faith-related questions, and the emotional aftermath of trauma.

Her practice emphasizes collaborative work that helps individuals uncover patterns, build practical skills, and reconnect with a sense of wellbeing. Drawing on approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based work, client-centered care, and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), she offers a blend of strategies tailored to each person’s goals.

With three years of professional experience, Yolanda aims to guide clients through discovery and recovery toward greater health and wholeness.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Yolanda commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, while ACT emphasizes clarifying values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. Both approaches offer concrete strategies that translate well to virtual sessions and self-directed practice between meetings.

Attachment-based principles also inform how she understands relationship patterns and emotional responses, helping clients explore early dynamics that affect current connections. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; she works with each person to determine which methods align with their goals, preferences, and life circumstances rather than applying a single model across the board.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions and enable practical skill-building through real-time coaching and written exercises that clients can revisit between sessions.
