About Joanna
Joanna Hernandez-Caudron helps people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or big life changes. She is a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, practicing in Colorado and offering sessions in English and Spanish. Her approach aims to make difficult feelings easier to talk about and to find practical ways forward.
Joanna focuses on concerns such as anxiety, depression, social isolation, and LGBT-related stress. She also supports people facing postpartum challenges, trauma, immigration-related struggles, chronic illness or pain, and issues around identity and discrimination.
Background and approach
Conversations are aimed at understanding the person’s situation and identifying small, useful steps to reduce distress. Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Internal Family Systems. These approaches are used to help people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and to understand different parts of themselves that influence behavior.
Sessions combine gentle curiosity with concrete strategies for day-to-day life. Joanna brings eight years of experience to her practice and has worked with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. She makes space for conversations about cultural identity, prejudice, and the specific pressures that come with major life transitions.
Language options include English and Spanish. Therapy is offered through multiple online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the Start Therapy button.
Payment uses a cancellable subscription model and cost varies by location and availability.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions you can take even when emotions are strong, which is useful for anxiety, stress, and mood struggles.Internal Family Systems looks at the different parts inside a person that hold feelings and memories. By gently talking with those parts, people often gain more choice in how they respond to triggers like shame, guilt, or fear. This approach can help with trauma, identity questions, and persistent emotional patterns.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Joanna will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as needs change. That collaborative process helps make sessions feel practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls provide face-to-face conversations when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a short break during the day. Live chat or text-based messaging lets people check in between sessions or use brief, focused exchanges when a longer call isn’t possible. These options make it easier to keep momentum and make steady progress.
