About Joanna
Joanna Hernandez-Caudron is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Colorado with eight years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and concerns related to LGBT identity and family matters. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and she accepts international clients.
Joanna focuses on practical ways to manage overwhelming feelings and daily strain. She uses clear, evidence-informed approaches to help people notice patterns that cause distress and try different responses. Many who come for support are coping with social anxiety, isolation, trauma, postpartum mood changes, or discrimination.
Her approach acknowledges cultural background, immigration issues, and the effects of prejudice on mental health. She pays attention to attachment concerns and how past relationships shape current reactions. Conversations often include small experiments to test new behaviors and build more reliable coping habits.
Joanna also helps with challenges tied to chronic illness or disability, guilt and shame, and motherhood transitions like pregnancy and childbirth. She talks through practical steps for day-to-day life alongside deeper emotional work. The focus is on what works in ordinary routines.
Clients can expect a collaborative process that looks at both feelings and actions. Joanna draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Internal Family Systems to guide sessions. She aims to support adults who want clearer choices when home life feels strained.
How sessions work
How Joanna’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and mood concerns by teaching simple practices to stay present and act despite difficult feelings.Internal Family Systems (IFS) looks at the different parts inside a person - for example a protective part and a vulnerable part - and helps them relate differently to those parts. IFS can be useful for attachment issues, shame, and the effects of trauma by creating more internal cooperation.
Deciding which method to use is collaborative. Joanna will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try approaches and adjust as needed rather than committing to a single plan from the start.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit work, childcare, and appointments into a weekly routine. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or let people join without needing to travel. Practical options and scheduling are confirmed during the matching and booking steps.
