About Yvonne

Yvonne Schilling is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship problems, and issues around identity and intimacy. She also lists support for LGBT concerns, ADHD, sleep problems, career stress, and coping with life changes.

Her background covers long experience using several practical therapy styles. She draws on cognitive behavioral methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to clarify values and focus on meaningful action. Attachment-based approaches inform how she looks at relationship patterns and early family influences.

Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, learning communication skills, and building day-to-day routines that reduce overwhelm. She can help people process grief, work through shame or abandonment wounds, and repair intimacy problems. For workplace or career stress she emphasizes coping strategies and boundaries.

She cites experience with blended family issues, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns, and family-of-origin problems. Yvonne also notes work with codependency, commitment issues, and relationships marked by poor communication.

Her style is conversational and practical. She helps people identify one or two specific changes they can try between sessions. To begin, follow the site steps to match and schedule a first appointment.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values despite difficult feelings. It can be useful for guilt, shame, and life transitions when someone wants concrete actions that align with their priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing and testing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems in place. It supports work on anxiety, sleep issues, depression, and patterns that fuel self-blame by introducing practical experiments and short homework tasks.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current responses. It can be helpful for intimacy problems, abandonment wounds, and relationship communication by tracing patterns and practicing new ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and help decide which methods fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as work progresses.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, since the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so someone can use a break at work or in between errands. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, use screen-shared resources, and set practical between-session tasks to keep momentum.
