About Yovanna
Prof. Yovanna Martinez is a licensed mental health counselor with LMHC and LCPC credentials and 25 years of experience in Florida. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, trauma and related problems. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and she accepts international clients.
Her work is practical and focused on changing thoughts and habits that get in the way of daily life. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered conversation to identify patterns and try new coping steps. Mindfulness techniques and solution-focused ideas are used when they fit the problem.
Martinez often begins by listening to what feels most urgent and then setting small, clear goals. She prioritizes steps that can be practiced between sessions, such as short behavioral experiments or brief thought records. This keeps progress concrete and measurable over time.
Clients come with many kinds of concerns, including relationship strain, parenting stress, sleep problems, anger, career questions, and issues related to trauma, substance use, or ADHD. She also addresses less named problems like emptiness, abandonment, or caregiver stress.
Her background combines long clinical experience with a straightforward, skills-based approach. New clients are guided through a short matching questionnaire and a first session is scheduled to set immediate, manageable objectives. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Prof. Martinez uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT sessions often focus on specific problems like sleep, anxiety, or anger and include practical exercises to try between meetings.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions include open conversation focused on what matters most to the client. Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach short attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus in daily life.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals and preferences and then recommend which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is observed.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats were not specified in the original biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Ask about the exact session options during the matching and scheduling steps so arrangements match your needs and routine.
