About Yoany
Yoany Lopez Hernandez is a licensed mental health counselor working in Florida. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. She speaks English and Spanish and has eight years of clinical experience.
She aims to make the first steps toward help feel manageable. Sessions are meant to be a place to talk honestly about worries without judgment. She encourages clear, practical goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Background and approach
In sessions she listens for patterns that keep problems going. She helps people name feelings, try new ways of reacting, and build skills to handle panic, low mood, or worries. Communication skills and coping tools are often part of the work when relationship or attachment issues show up.
She also addresses issues like abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, and the emotional effects of illness. When topics such as infidelity, divorce, domestic violence, or guilt come up, she focuses on safety, understanding, and next steps people can take to feel more in control. Yoany prefers to collaborate on a plan that fits each person’s life and goals.
She uses approaches that are evidence-based and practical. People can expect straightforward guidance and a calm, respectful space to talk and try new ways of coping.
Evidence-based approaches and online access
Yoany uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on helping people change unhelpful patterns and build coping skills. One common approach she uses helps people identify and challenge thoughts that feed anxiety and low mood, and then practice new responses to those thoughts to reduce distress. Another approach emphasizes learning concrete coping tools for panic, stress, and trauma-related symptoms, such as grounding strategies, breathing work, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations.Finding the right approach is a team effort. She works with each person to figure out which techniques fit their goals, needs, and comfort level, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. The therapist-client collaboration guides which methods are used week to week.
Online work is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care easier to fit into life. Video calls let people talk face to face from different locations, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options allow flexibility for scheduling, follow-up, and different styles of emotional support.
