About Yoanna
Yoanna Grand is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 11 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are carrying guilt, shame, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, parenting strains, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar. She speaks English and Spanish and frames therapy as a collaborative effort to address concrete problems.
She uses practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try alternative actions. She also brings techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address intense emotions and relationship patterns. Sessions often include skill practice and behavioral steps between meetings.
Her approach is straightforward. She helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck, name difficult feelings like shame or self-blame, and experiment with small changes. Therapy can include talking through recent events, looking at family patterns, and building coping strategies for everyday life.
Yoanna pays attention to how attachment and abandonment experiences shape current reactions. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, body image concerns, commitment fears, and communication problems. Work may include addressing trauma and abuse or navigating separation and blended family tensions.
Practical matters are part of the process. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to get started.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values-driven action. Online sessions using ACT help people decide what matters most and practice small steps toward those values despite difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. In remote work CBT often includes thought records, behavior experiments, and homework to test new ways of responding.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify what methods fit current goals and preferences. Clients and therapist review what is helping and adjust approaches over time so the work stays practical and relevant.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats were not specified in the original biography. Ask which session options are offered and which fit your schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a day, shorten check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so therapy can be maintained during busy weeks.
