About Yvonne

Yvonne Schilling is a licensed professional counselor with 25 years of experience practicing in Texas. She offers calm, steady support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. Her work often centers on identity questions and relationship struggles, including concerns important to LGBT clients.

Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She focuses on helping people understand what matters most to them and on practical steps that make daily life easier. Sessions emphasize clearer communication, stronger coping skills, and steady progress instead of quick fixes.

Yvonne often blends methods to match a person’s needs. She draws on approaches that help people accept difficult feelings, reframe unhelpful thoughts, and repair important relationships. That mix supports work on intimacy, sleep problems, self-esteem, and career stress.

She also helps people with specific challenges such as ADHD, caregiving stress, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care issues, and grief after loss. Yvonne pays attention to how attachment patterns and early family experiences shape present-day reactions.

If you are rethinking life direction or coping with a midlife shift, she can help you sort priorities and build a plan. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking and choose the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session.

Approaches you can use in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without fighting them, while focusing on actions that match personal values. It can help with midlife questions, grief, and ongoing anxiety by clarifying what matters and supporting small, consistent steps forward.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, depression, and improving day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach often takes a few conversations. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and what feels useful in practice. That collaborative process guides early sessions and adjustments over time.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which online formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to continue work during life transitions. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework so progress continues between appointments.
