About Yoanna
Yoanna Grand is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strains, self-esteem concerns, mood difficulties, and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Her approach combines several talk-based therapies so people get both emotional connection and practical skills. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help name and shift painful emotions and attachment patterns. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address unhelpful thoughts and build workable behaviors.
In sessions, she listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps clients try small changes. She offers concrete tools for managing anxiety, regulating strong emotions, and improving communication. She also supports people coping with grief, trauma, and caregiver stress.
Yoanna emphasizes straightforward planning and skill practice between sessions. She helps people set manageable goals and notice what changes and what does not. The focus is on clear steps people can use in daily life.

How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on helping people identify and express strong emotions and see how those feelings affect their close relationships. It is often used when emotions are intense or hard to put into words. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and life direction concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns such as avoidance or negative thinking.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try based on needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can blend EFT with ACT or CBT so people both process emotion and practice new skills.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use therapy from different locations within Florida. Check the therapist's session options when you schedule to confirm what is offered.
