About Yoanna
Yoanna Grand is a licensed mental health counselor who guides people toward clearer goals and steadier emotions. She emphasizes collaboration and practical tools so clients can make small, lasting changes. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people feel more capable and less stuck.
She creates a calm, respectful space where clients can talk through stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship challenges. Yoanna helps people build skills for parenting strains, improving self-esteem, and handling life transitions. She also supports those facing trauma, anger, career shifts, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms.
Her work uses clear, goal-focused methods to teach coping skills and increase self-awareness. Sessions often include exercises to notice thoughts, try new behaviors, and practice emotion regulation. Clients learn steps they can use between sessions to manage difficult moments and move toward the life they want.
Yoanna draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person’s needs. She integrates strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Treatment is collaborative - she and the client plan the pace and priorities together.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their reasons for change and find their own motivation. It focuses on gentle questions and reflections to build readiness for new steps. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches how to notice hard thoughts and feelings while committing to values-based actions, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It often includes practical exercises and homework to try between sessions, which can speed skill building for stress, mood, and coping challenges. Yoanna will discuss which approaches could fit best and tailor them to each person’s situation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with clients to set goals, pick strategies, and adjust the plan as needs change. Clients share their preferences and Yoanna helps match methods to goals so therapy feels useful and manageable.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, skip travel time, or pick a session style that matches energy and bandwidth. Practical benefits include shorter check-ins when needed, easier scheduling around work or caregiving, and the ability to use tools and worksheets digitally between meetings. -
