About Yoanna
Yoanna Grand is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strains. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. She lists blended family issues among her focus areas and often addresses the practical strains of merging households and changing parenting roles.
Her approach is collaborative and direct. She uses concrete tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help shift unhelpful thinking and from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy inform how she helps people clarify values and address painful emotions.
In sessions she talks through current problems and practices small, manageable skills between meetings. Typical work includes learning breathing and grounding techniques, testing new communication habits, and setting doable goals for daily life. She also supports people dealing with trauma, attachment wounds, or caregiving stress.
Yoanna pays attention to how family history and early relationships affect present behavior. She helps people name patterns that repeat across relationships and try new ways of relating. That can include work on abandonment fears, commitment concerns, and boundaries with ex-partners.
Her style is straightforward and practical. She aims to help clients build routines that reduce overwhelm. To get started she asks people to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking system.
How therapy approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking committed steps toward those values. It helps with decisions, motivation, and coping when feelings are uncomfortable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change thinking and behavior patterns that keep anxiety or depression going. It is useful for stress, low mood, and relationship patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clear communication skills that reduce impulsive reactions and conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review current problems, goals, and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That plan can change as skills are practiced and different challenges appear. The process is collaborative and focused on what the client needs in everyday life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to try short check-ins when time is limited. It also allows practicing communication skills and emotion regulation in real time between household routines. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to fit a client's day-to-day demands, helping new habits stick without needing extra travel time.
