Prof. Yovanna Martinez

Prof. Yovanna Martinez welcomes people who are struggling with anger and the stress that often comes with it. She focuses on helping individuals gain practical tools to manage strong feelings and regain steadiness. Her manner is respectful, compassionate, and straightforward, and she speaks both English and Spanish.

With 25 years of experience, Prof. Martinez shapes conversations and plans around each person's needs. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, relationship issues, sleep problems, ADHD, and career stress among other concerns. She listens first, then works with clients to set clear goals and small steps toward change.

Her work uses familiar, hands-on approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness. These methods are used to identify unhelpful patterns, practice new skills, and build better day-to-day coping. Sessions tend to focus on what is useful now and on skills people can try between meetings.

Prof. Martinez holds licenses as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Maryland. She practices from Florida and is comfortable working with people in English or Spanish. She also accepts international clients.

Starting therapy begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling the first appointment. She aims to keep plans realistic and adaptable so progress fits busy lives. Many clients find that steady, small changes lead to clearer thinking and calmer reactions over time.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The therapist reflects what is said and helps people find their own solutions, which can work well in a conversation over video or phone.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. Online sessions can use CBT to teach practical skills, long-term strategies, and small experiments to try between meetings.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and calm the body. These short exercises are easy to learn during remote sessions and practice in daily life.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try approaches that fit those needs. That makes the process collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy schedule and fewer barriers to keeping appointments. Some people prefer not to travel, others need a shorter check-in when time is tight, and some find phone or video sessions make regular practice more manageable.
