About Yovani
Yovani Hernandez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) practicing in North Carolina with 10 years of experience. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma-related concerns, and problems that trace back to family of origin patterns. She speaks English and Spanish and focuses on practical ways to manage emotions and daily stressors.
She aims to help people notice how early family roles and expectations still shape current choices. Sessions often include talking through communication problems, intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, and career pressures. She also addresses grief, sleep difficulties, ADHD-related challenges, and anger management.
Her background blends several evidence-based approaches. She uses ideas from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift patterns that cause distress. Attachment-based methods are part of the work when family and early relationships are central to the concern.
In sessions she listens for how learned responses show up now. Together with each client she identifies small, concrete changes to try between meetings. Practical coping skills and emotional regulation strategies from Dialectical Behavior Therapy are available when clients need them.
She is attentive to cultural context and women’s and young adult experiences while keeping the focus on present problems and workable steps. The practice supports people who want clearer boundaries, better communication, and fewer repeating patterns from their family of origin.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, and sleep issues. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present reactions and helps people understand and shift relationship patterns rooted in family of origin concerns.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, what has or hasn’t worked before, and preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as work progresses.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online session types. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use a mix of guided exercises, talk-based sessions, and homework between meetings to keep progress moving while fitting work into everyday life.
