About Yolanda
Yolanda Aguinaga is a Pennsylvania Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 32 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and anger. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and she accepts international clients.
Yolanda frames clients as experts in their own stories and looks for practical strengths to build on. She encourages small, steady steps and straightforward strategies that people can try between sessions. Conversations are focused on what is happening now and what changes feel realistic for everyday life.
Her background includes a range of therapeutic approaches. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take committed action. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when stronger emotion regulation tools are helpful.
Typical work covers relationship stress, sleep and eating concerns, career pressure, burnout and compassion fatigue, and the life changes that follow loss or major transitions. She also supports people dealing with trauma, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and issues around self-esteem and body image.
Yolanda often helps clients break larger problems into manageable steps. She offers practical skills for coping with anger, improving communication, and navigating boundaries. Her aim is to help clients develop methods they can use on their own between sessions.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial appointment. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Yolanda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thought that fuel anger and frustration. CBT sessions typically include identifying triggers, testing unhelpful thoughts, and practicing different responses to reduce reactivity.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking committed steps toward those values. ACT helps when anger is tied to avoided feelings or conflicting priorities. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills may be added to teach concrete emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness tools when strong emotions are frequent.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss which methods seem most practical for the issues you bring. That decision is collaborative and can shift as goals change or as certain techniques prove helpful.

Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or reduce the need to travel. Discussing what day-to-day constraints matter to you helps shape how sessions are scheduled and which strategies are emphasized.
