About Yoanna
Yoanna Grand is a Florida LMHC with 11 years of clinical experience who helps adults work through stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting questions, grief, and self-esteem concerns. She speaks English and Spanish and frames therapy as a collaborative effort to develop practical skills and clearer choices.
She uses straightforward tools to help people manage intense feelings and everyday pressure. Sessions focus on building coping strategies, noticing unhelpful patterns, and practicing small changes that make day-to-day life easier. Yoanna aims to help clients feel more able to handle transitions like job changes, relationship shifts, or parenting stress.
Her background includes work across mood and trauma-related concerns. She draws on methods such as acceptance-based strategies, cognitive approaches that target thoughts and behaviors, and emotion-focused work to improve connection and communication. That mix is used to address issues from anxiety and depression to grief and trauma recovery.
In a typical session she will listen to current struggles, offer practical exercises, and set doable goals for between meetings. Clients can expect to leave with concrete steps to practice, not just discussion. Her style emphasizes learning skills and trying them in real life.
People seeking help for career decisions, problems with intimacy or commitment, grief, or managing ADHD-related challenges will find a therapist familiar with those topics. She does not take international clients. To begin, readers should follow the site’s process to view online therapy options and schedule an initial meeting.
How her approaches fit online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that matter. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness; it can help with anger, relationship strain, and overwhelm.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist partners with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day challenges. That collaborative process includes trying techniques and adjusting based on what helps most.

They can also let someone check in quickly during a break, use fewer commute resources, or choose a session length that fits their week. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and help match the approach and schedule to the client's needs and preferences.
