About Yovani

Yovani Hernandez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in North Carolina with ten years of experience. She offers therapy for common struggles such as depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship concerns, and stress. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

Her practice focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. She talks with clients about communication, sleep, parenting challenges, and workplace stress. She also addresses issues like grief, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and intimacy-related problems.

Yovani draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy. In sessions she helps people notice what matters to them, try small behavior changes, and work on relationship patterns that cause pain. She uses straightforward techniques rather than technical language.

Clients can expect a therapist who pays attention to culture and life context. She is familiar with blended family issues, family of origin problems, abandonment concerns, and the complications that come with separation or divorce. Yovani also addresses control issues, codependency, and co-morbidity that can complicate recovery.

Over time she supports people in building coping skills and clearer communication habits. The first conversations usually focus on immediate stressors and practical coping. Later work often moves into longer term patterns and skills practice to manage emotions and improve daily functioning.

BHow sessions work

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to tolerate difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and teaches new ways of relating and communicating.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. Early sessions often test one or two strategies and then expand on what is helpful based on feedback and practical results.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, manage shorter check-ins, or avoid travel time. It also allows sessions to focus on skill practice, communication rehearsals, and homework that can be tried between meetings to see what changes in everyday routines.
