About Joanna
Joanna Hernandez-Caudron is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eight years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and social anxiety and phobia. She also helps with LGBT and family-related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Joanna focuses on practical skills and clear steps. She uses approaches that help people notice their thoughts and make values-based choices. She also works with internal parts to reduce inner conflict and self-criticism. In sessions she talks through coping tools, pacing for change, and ways to steady mood during hard moments.
Her background includes supporting people through grief, trauma, pregnancy and postpartum challenges, and migration-related stress. She also addresses chronic pain, illness, and disability by combining emotional work with problem-solving strategies. She pays attention to how culture and prejudice affect daily life and relationships.
Joanna often helps people practice conversations they dread, manage situations that trigger panic, and reduce avoidance. She offers straight answers about what to try next and checks in about what worked between sessions. That kind of follow-up helps people build small, manageable changes over time.
People who choose her can expect a collaborative approach that mixes skill-building with reflective work. She aims to help clients identify what matters to them and take steps that fit their lives. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online options button.
How Joanna’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters to them, and take small actions that reflect those values. It can be useful for anxiety, social fears, and mood challenges by focusing on practical steps rather than trying to eliminate every worry.Internal Family Systems (IFS) looks at the different parts inside a person - the anxious part, the critical part, the protective part - and helps those parts relate to each other more kindly. This approach can reduce self-criticism and make social situations feel less overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanna treats that as a collaboration, checking in about what feels helpful and adjusting methods to match a client's goals and preferences. She will discuss which tools to try and review progress together so clients can decide what fits best.
