About Yolanda
Yolanda Fajardo-Vela offers a warm, practical approach to therapy that centers on the person in front of her. She is an LPC, LPCC with 15 years of experience and works from straightforward, evidence-informed methods. Yolanda aims to help people name what feels overwhelming and take clear steps toward change.
She uses client-centered work to listen closely and build trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps her clients notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.
How Yolanda works
Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness techniques bring tools for managing strong emotions and staying present during stress. Yolanda helps with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing parenting strains, career pressure, relationship challenges, and compassion fatigue.
Additional focus areas include attachment difficulties, feelings of abandonment, guilt and shame, and women's issues. In sessions she guides people toward practical goals. That might mean rehearsing a hard conversation, tracking mood and behavior patterns, or learning short mindfulness exercises to ease tension.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth - she helps clients try things and notice what works. Yolanda provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can connect in the way that suits them. She practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English.

Online support options
How her approaches fit into online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a working relationship. It helps people feel heard and guides sessions around their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. This collaboration makes it easier to find tools that fit the person and the issue being addressed.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for more in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when a quieter, lower-bandwidth option is needed. Live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins, skill practice, or when written reflection feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between meetings.
