About Yovanna
Prof. Yovanna Martinez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 25 years of experience. She is based in Florida and works in both English and Spanish. She helps people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, trauma, relationship problems, parenting strain and blended family issues.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation and practical steps. She uses clear talk to identify what is getting in the way and what can change. Sessions focus on skills for managing strong feelings, improving communication, and setting reasonable goals for daily life.
Her approach draws from client-centered methods that keep the person's perspective central. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and develop new habits. Mindfulness and solution-focused tools are added when they fit the person's needs.
With many years of practice, she has worked across anxiety, mood struggles, addiction concerns, and caregiving stress. That background informs how she shapes short-term strategies and longer-term coping plans. She can switch between practical coaching and deeper therapeutic work depending on what a person asks for.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and she accepts international clients. People interested in starting are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how her way of working fits their situation.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people gain clarity about their goals and feel understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and builds practical skills to change reactions and daily habits. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative process guides whether the focus is short-term problem solving, skill-building, or deeper emotional work.
