About Yovanna
Prof. Yovanna Martinez is a licensed mental health counselor and a licensed clinical professional counselor with 25 years of experience. She is licensed as an LMHC in Florida and holds an LCPC in Maryland. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and parenting strain, and she supports people dealing with relationship and family concerns as well as trauma and abuse.
Her work often focuses on practical problems at home and in daily life. She helps people manage anger, sleep problems, low self-esteem, and career stress. She also supports those coping with major life changes, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and issues linked to substance use.
She uses clear, goal-focused methods drawn from client-centered care, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work. Sessions emphasize talking through immediate difficulties, learning new ways to handle thoughts and feelings, and practicing small changes between meetings.
Martinez speaks English and Spanish and can converse in either language during sessions. Her background includes many years helping adults address family and parenting-related strain alongside other personal concerns. She frames treatment around what a person needs to do day to day, such as improving communication, reducing overwhelm, or building coping routines.

How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Prof. Martinez often draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness in her approach. Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person, helping them clarify goals and decide next steps. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness practices train simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and stress management.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, preferences, and how problems show up in daily life, then recommend methods to try. The plan can change as progress and needs become clearer, and adjustments are made collaboratively.
The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy home life, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time that might otherwise interrupt a workday. Licensed professionals commonly use these practical benefits to help clients keep therapy consistent and manageable while addressing family and parenting-related challenges.
