About Yvonne
Yvonne Schilling is a licensed professional counselor in Texas with 25 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. Her work often centers on relationship and intimacy concerns, career strain, and questions of identity and self-esteem.
She builds sessions around listening and practical steps. Yvonne uses clear communication and paced conversations so people can make sense of painful feelings. She aims to help clients notice patterns, try small changes, and track what helps.
Background and approach
Her methods draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral work and client-centered listening. She also uses elements from attachment-focused work and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address long-standing relational and emotional patterns. These tools are used to help with coping skills, mood shifts, sleep disruption, and focus problems like ADHD.
Yvonne often supports people dealing with family-of-origin issues, blended family struggles, abandonment wounds, adoption and foster care impacts, caregiving stress, and life changes tied to illness or aging. She also works with communication problems, codependency, commitment concerns, and the aftermath of separation or disaster. Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-oriented.
People who want clear ideas they can try between sessions tend to do well. Yvonne offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging for ongoing check-ins and shorter conversations.
Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Yvonne uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep troubles, and improving daily routines.She also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions even when hard feelings remain. ACT can help with life transitions, chronic worry, and getting unstuck from avoidance patterns.
Choosing an approach is a team effort. Yvonne will work with clients to decide which methods match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts plans as people learn what helps. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to each person's needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging let clients share brief updates, ask quick questions, or maintain momentum between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
