About Joanna

Joanna Hernandez-Caudron is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people working through stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges related to LGBT identity and family dynamics. She practices from Colorado and offers therapy in both English and Spanish, bringing eight years of clinical experience to each relationship.

Background and approach

Joanna aims to create a compassionate, culturally aware environment that acknowledges the impact of discrimination, immigration experiences, and multicultural identities on emotional well-being. Her approach combines Internal Family Systems and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support clients in exploring internal parts, clarifying values, and building practical coping skills.

Joanna emphasizes collaboration and respect, helping clients navigate social anxiety, isolation, trauma, mood disorders, postpartum concerns, and other life transitions with practical strategies and curiosity about internal experience. She accepts international clients and provides flexible online formats to accommodate varied needs and schedules.

Using IFS and ACT in Online Therapy

Internal Family Systems is an approach that invites people to get to know the different parts of themselves - protective, wounded, and wise - so they can reduce inner conflict and respond to life with more clarity. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and building committed action while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. Both methods can be helpful for issues like anxiety, depression, trauma-related distress, identity exploration, and adjusting to life transitions.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic process, and Joanna approaches this collaboratively. She will work with clients to identify goals, discuss how Internal Family Systems or ACT might apply, and adjust the plan based on the client's needs, preferences, and pace of progress.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access care from different locations. These formats support ongoing work on values, parts exploration, and practical coping skills while offering flexibility for clients balancing work, family, or geographic constraints.
