Yoany Lopez Hernandez, LMHC

Yoany Lopez Hernandez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship problems, and recover from trauma and abuse. She also supports people dealing with low self-esteem, depression, and panic symptoms. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and she accepts international clients.

With eight years of clinical experience, Yoany focuses on creating an open, respectful space for people to share thoughts and feelings. She emphasizes listening first, then working together to set small, realistic goals. The aim is to build coping skills and improve day-to-day functioning.

Her approach centers on practical tools and steady support. She helps clients identify unhelpful patterns, practice new ways of relating to themselves and others, and manage intense emotions when they arise. She also addresses issues tied to life changes such as separation, caregiving stress, or a cancer diagnosis.

Yoany pays attention to how attachment, abandonment worries, and communication problems show up in relationships. She helps people handle guilt, shame, and struggles with body image or self-worth. Work can include processing past hurts, practicing communication skills, and building routines that support mental well-being.

For someone ready to try therapy, she guides each step at a comfortable pace. She encourages honest conversation about what’s working and what needs to change, so goals stay realistic and relevant to the client’s life.

Approaches that guide online care

Yoany uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach she applies helps people learn skills to manage intense feelings and reduce panic symptoms; it involves practicing breathing and grounding strategies and testing small behavioral changes. Another approach focuses on patterns in relationships and attachment; this helps people notice repeated dynamics, name needs, and try new ways of communicating and relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will ask about your goals, stressors, and what has helped or not helped before. Based on that conversation, she and the client pick methods that feel doable and relevant, and they check in regularly to adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. The therapist accepts international clients and offers scheduling that aims to fit around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. Online work can make it easier to keep regular sessions during busy weeks, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so counseling fits into daily life.
