About Yovani

Yovani Hernandez is a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina with 10 years of experience. She holds LCSW and LISW-CP credentials and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and questions about life direction and purpose.

She focuses on relatable problems like parenting strain, sleep trouble, anger, and difficulties with self-esteem. She also offers support for ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, grief, and coping with major life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and Spanish.

In practice she uses evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That mix is used to help people notice patterns, manage overwhelming feelings, and take small practical steps toward clearer priorities.

Her style centers on direct listening and practical skills. Conversations often include looking at how relationships and early family experiences shape choices now. Clients work on communication, boundaries, and repairing or reframing difficult memories.

People typically bring concerns about career direction, intimacy, abandonment wounds, blended family dynamics, or ongoing communication problems. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that reflect personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and questions about what matters next.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It focuses on practical strategies to shift unhelpful thinking and build new habits for mood, sleep, and daily functioning.

Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships affect current patterns in intimacy, trust, and communication. This approach can help when relationship dynamics or abandonment issues feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals and preferences with each person and suggest which methods to try first. Decisions about methods happen together and can change as needs evolve.

Confirm current session formats before booking, since the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight, or let someone avoid commuting. These practical benefits help people continue regular work on goals without major schedule disruption.
