I would start over with her as if you just got her from her mother. Routine is key to her breaking bad habits. Letting her cry it out and ignoring her wildly barking, she will stop this as well. I'd do the 7 day training with her that's advised on here. Feed her on a schedule and take her out to do her biz and play on a schedule as well. Even if she's already done her biz in her crate, still give her that potty time. Eventually all this routine, she will know when it's play time, potty time, etc and know that she will be getting out. This will allow her to be less anxious with her behaviors because she knows that she can count on you. Sticking to it even when it looks like it's not working, she'll relearn. Yorkies are very smart dogs.
