About Yovani
Yovani Hernandez is a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina with ten years of experience. She holds LCSW and LISW-CP credentials and works with adults on concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship problems. She also addresses issues like ADHD, grief, sleep difficulties, and blended family issues.
Hernandez uses clear, behavior-focused methods in sessions. She helps people develop coping skills for stress and manage intense emotions. Practical tools and brief skill practice are common parts of her work.
She pays attention to cultural background and how it shapes relationships and expectations. That lens often shows up when talking about commitment, codependency, or family of origin concerns. Sessions also cover intimacy-related worries and the impact of past abandonment or attachment problems.
Her approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based work alongside client-centered principles. That mix lets her combine values-based goals, thought-and-behavior work, and relationship patterns in a straightforward plan. Clients can expect collaborative goal setting and regular check-ins on progress.
Hernandez offers services in English and Spanish. She can discuss career stress, anger management, and coping with life changes in practical terms. People considering a first session are guided through a short intake process and a scheduling step to get started.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and building small actions that align with those values while reducing avoidance. It can help when worry, depression, or life changes make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood management.Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk about goals, try a few strategies, and adjust what’s used based on what helps. That collaborative planning aims to keep sessions relevant to day-to-day problems in a stepfamily or new household context.
