About Yeneisy
Yeneisy Fernandez is a Florida LMHC with 13 years of experience working with adults who struggle with stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. She helps people who are carrying guilt or shame tied to relationship choices, family roles, or personal identity. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and she accepts international clients.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and looks for strengths they can use. She draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Attachment-Based work to address patterns that keep guilt and shame active.
In practice she focuses on clear, usable skills. That can mean noticing unhelpful thoughts, trying small behavior changes, or learning ways to respond differently in relationships. She also works on how early attachment experiences can shape current feelings of blame and worthlessness.
Sessions often include both talking and practical exercises. Clients may practice acceptance strategies from ACT, thought-challenging from CBT, or relational tools from attachment approaches. The style is direct and supportive, with an eye toward real-life changes rather than abstract theory.
Yeneisy has worked across many concerns related to chronic illness, caregiving stress, body image, codependency, and coping after loss or disaster. If guilt or shame is part of what keeps someone stuck, she helps people name those feelings and take steps to lighten their weight.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Yeneisy commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). ACT focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them and choosing actions that align with what matters to the client. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to address how early relationship experiences shape current trust, shame, and closeness issues. That work helps people see recurring relationship responses and practice new ways of connecting or setting boundaries.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Yeneisy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining ACT, CBT, and attachment tools over time rather than relying on a single method.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to schedule regular appointments, reduce travel time, and let people work on skills between meetings. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations when a camera is not convenient. Licensed professionals can help tailor session length and rhythm to fit everyday life.
