About Yovanna
Prof. Yovanna Martinez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland with 25 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, anger, relationship problems, and related life challenges. She speaks English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
Martinez focuses on practical conversation and clear goals. She uses everyday language and listens for patterns that cause repeated conflict or low mood. Sessions look at what happens before, during, and after upsetting moments so clients can try different responses and notice what changes.
Her approach pulls on client-centered methods to respect each person’s viewpoint while using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are offered to build tolerance for strong feelings. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help clients set small, realistic steps and track progress.
She has long experience helping people with anger-related problems such as snapping at loved ones, workplace frustration, and bottled-up resentment. Work often includes learning quick calming skills, practicing different communication habits, and planning healthier reactions for recurring triggers.
Sessions may also address linked issues like sleep disruption, substance use, parenting strain, or burnout. Martinez aims to keep work straightforward and practical so clients can test new habits between sessions and notice real shifts over time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what the client says, helping people clarify goals and feel understood. Online sessions can replicate that conversational style so clients can sort through what matters most and decide small steps to try between meetings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies the thoughts and behaviors that keep a problem going and provides concrete exercises to change them. In remote sessions this often means setting short homework tasks, working through thought records together, and practicing new responses in real life then reviewing results.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity to strong emotions. These exercises can be guided in-session and then repeated by clients during daily life to increase tolerance for anger and stress.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, test techniques, and adjust methods based on what the client prefers and what produces progress. That shared decision-making helps keep work focused and manageable.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since none are specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports practicing skills in everyday settings and reviewing how new responses land between meetings.
