About Yoanna
Yoanna Grand is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 11 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. She also addresses relationship and parenting concerns along with self-esteem and motivation issues.
She focuses on practical tools that people can use between sessions. That includes skills for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and making small changes that add up over time. Sessions tend to center on what a person wants to try next rather than lengthy theory discussions.
Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, anger, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also attends to family of origin problems, blended family dynamics, and caregiving stress. People who feel empty, stuck after a breakup, or uncertain about career direction may find this approach relevant.
Yoanna uses a mix of evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Existential Therapy. Those frameworks are used to help people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and build day-to-day coping strategies.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. She practices in Florida and works with adults on concerns like parenting strain, communication problems, body image, abandonment and attachment issues, and forgiveness work.
Approaches used and how they fit online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and making life direction choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. It is useful for building concrete coping strategies. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving regulation and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, relationship strain, and self-management.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on goals, needs, and preferences. That can mean combining techniques from different approaches and adjusting over time as situations change.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time so work or caregiving responsibilities are easier to balance. If in doubt, ask about language options, session length, and how scheduling works when you complete the matching questionnaire.
