About Yovanna
Prof. Yovanna Martinez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 25 years of experience practicing in Florida. She works with young adults and others facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, trauma and abuse, relationship problems, sleep issues, parenting concerns, career questions, ADHD and related challenges. She is fully bilingual in English and Spanish.
Martinez uses straightforward conversation and active listening to help people clarify goals. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person’s priorities. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to build practical coping skills.
Her background includes long-term clinical work with people managing life changes, substance issues, anger, and compassion fatigue. She has accumulated 25 years of practice helping others work through grief and loss and build routines that support better sleep and mood.
Sessions emphasize clear, goal-focused steps and motivational techniques when change feels hard. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to map small, achievable next moves and track progress. Mindfulness methods are offered to reduce reactivity and improve concentration.
She adapts the conversation to the person in front of her and will use Spanish when preferred. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the site’s instructions to begin the matching process.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on open listening and making the conversation reflect the person’s priorities. Online sessions using this approach let clients set the agenda and bring the topics they want to work on, whether that is stress, relationships, or identity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings and behaviors into manageable steps and gives practical exercises to try between meetings. CBT online can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and ADHD symptoms by building routines and testing small changes. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve concentration; these techniques are easy to practice in short moments during a day.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to use, based on goals, preferences and what feels helpful in early sessions. That process is flexible and reviewed as things change.
The practical benefit of working online is fitting sessions into an everyday schedule. Confirm which session formats she currently offers before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to keep regular appointments, have shorter check-ins when needed, and use audio-only or lower-bandwidth options when video is difficult. These practical choices help therapy fit into school, work and busy weeks.
