About Yovani
Yovani Hernandez is a licensed social worker based in North Carolina. She holds LCSW and LISW-CP credentials and brings ten years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on everyday problems like anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship struggles.
She also addresses phobias among other concerns. She approaches therapy with a culturally aware and compassionate stance. She pays attention to how a person's background and life story shape current struggles.
Background and approach
Sessions often center on improving communication, building healthier coping habits, and reducing shame and isolation. Yovani uses practical methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She adapts those methods to each person's needs rather than following a single script.
This means working on skills in session and practicing them between meetings. She also draws on attachment-informed and client-centered ideas to help people rebuild trusting relationships and feel heard. That can be useful for people wrestling with intimacy issues, abandonment, or family of origin problems.
Therapy includes talking through patterns and trying small, manageable changes. Yovani offers care in English and Spanish and works with adults facing life transitions, grief, ADHD-related struggles, sleep problems, and career concerns. Her aim is to help people reconnect with purpose and move toward practical, steady improvements.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them. It helps people who feel stuck by teaching them to notice thoughts without getting held hostage by them and to move toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, phobias, and mood symptoms. It often involves short at-home practice tasks to test new ways of thinking and acting.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative process can include sampling different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy can make that process easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and role practice. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are options for brief check-ins, skill prompts, or follow-up between sessions. These formats offer flexibility so people can practice skills, review homework, and stay connected to a therapist from different settings.
