About Hany
Hany Urdaneta is a Florida LMHC with 13 years of clinical experience. She speaks English and Spanish and lists trauma, intimacy issues, self-esteem concerns, depression, and coping with life changes among her primary focus areas. She also addresses guilt and shame, forgiveness, abandonment, and related relationship concerns.
She works in straightforward sessions that focus on what feels most pressing. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and practical steps to test new behaviors. She also draws on solution-focused and reality-oriented techniques to set short-term goals and build manageable habits.
Motivational interviewing is part of her approach when people feel stuck or unsure about change. Person-centered elements guide the pace of work so clients can name their priorities. Therapy often mixes talking with concrete exercises to practice between sessions.
In sessions she pays attention to how past events affect present relationships and everyday choices. That includes work on trauma responses, post-traumatic stress symptoms, and difficulties with intimacy and sexual concerns. She also helps people handle life transitions like separation, divorce, or career shifts.
Her bilingual ability supports Spanish speakers who prefer to switch languages in session. The practice emphasizes clear steps, small experiments, and repeated practice rather than abstract theory.

How her approaches guide online work
Hany uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and test different responses. This approach breaks down worries into thoughts, feelings, and actions and suggests small experiments to see what changes behavior and mood.She also uses solution-focused and reality-oriented strategies that focus on short-term goals and practical steps. These methods are useful for people who want concrete progress on intimacy, communication, or coping with life changes. Motivational interviewing is used when someone feels ambivalent about change; it helps clarify values and strengthen reasons to act.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client discuss what feels most useful and adjust methods over time based on needs and preferences. Sessions can blend techniques so work stays practical and goal-directed.
