Yolanda Bouligny, LPC

Yolanda Bouligny is a licensed professional counselor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She offers calm, direct guidance for those who feel stuck or overwhelmed. Her approach centers on practical steps and honest conversation to help people move forward.

With three years of clinical experience, she draws on several evidence-based methods to match each person's needs. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Clients can expect help naming what matters to them and trying concrete strategies to reduce distress and increase confidence.

Yolanda pays attention to how past relationships and attachment patterns shape current reactions. She helps people understand those patterns without judgment and practice new ways of connecting and coping. That work often addresses family of origin issues, attachment concerns, abandonment wounds, and communication problems.

She also supports people managing caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, and compassion fatigue. When anger, guilt, or shame come up, she guides people through steps to regain control and make thoughtful choices. Practical behavior changes and clearer values are common goals.

Clients who are dealing with hoarding, helplessness, or the aftermath of disasters can work on small, manageable shifts. Yolanda helps people identify next steps and build routines that fit real life. She encourages steady progress rather than sudden perfection.

How her approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values. It helps when people feel stuck or unsure what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That collaboration includes checking in and adjusting strategies as needs change.

Confirm current session options before booking because the biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, require less travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit would be difficult. Some people prefer not being on camera and can use audio sessions or shorter phone check-ins if those formats are available. Discussing practical arrangements helps tailor therapy to everyday life and makes consistent progress more achievable.
