About Yovani
Yovani Hernandez is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in North Carolina. She has ten years of experience helping people handle stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. Yovani speaks English and Spanish and aims to make therapy clear and practical for everyday life.
She centers sessions on the person in front of her. Yovani listens for how past hurts influence current choices. She focuses on small, doable steps that build better coping and clearer communication.
Background and approach
Yovani uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She draws from cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thoughts. She also uses acceptance-based and attachment-informed ways to strengthen values and relationships.
Clients often come with work pressure, parenting strain, grief, or questions about identity and intimacy. Yovani helps people sort priorities, manage emotions, and create routines that improve sleep and daily function. She works with mood challenges including bipolar symptoms and attention concerns like ADHD.
Her style is straightforward and compassionate. Sessions focus on practical tools, honest conversation, and goals the client sets. The aim is steady improvement rather than quick fixes.
To begin, Yovani asks about current struggles and what matters most to the client. From there she builds a plan that fits the person’s life, language, and pace.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Yovani commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values, accept difficult thoughts, and take meaningful action toward what matters. It can help when emotions or avoidance get in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Yovani discusses goals and preferences with each person and recommends methods that fit those needs. She collaborates on a plan and adjusts it over time so techniques stay relevant and useful.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people connect face to face for in-depth work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or visual focus are concerns. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when fitting therapy into a busy day.
