Yeneisy Fernandez, LMHC

Yeneisy Fernandez is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 13 years of work experience. She helps people cope with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship or family concerns. She frames clients as the experts on their own lives and offers support while people take steps toward change.

She listens for strengths and builds on what is already working. Sessions focus on practical skills and small, manageable steps so progress feels real. She aims to help people feel more confident and motivated in everyday life.

Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and change behavior. She also applies attachment-focused ideas to understand relationship patterns and improve connection.

Yeneisy practices in both English and Spanish. She works with adults facing issues like abandonment concerns, blended family stress, body image struggles, caregiver burden, chronic illness or pain, and communication or control problems. She also supports people navigating aging and geriatric issues, cancer-related concerns, and recovery from disasters.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She helps people set clear goals and pick tools that fit their lives. For parents or caregivers who are juggling many demands, she aims to make progress feel practical and doable.

How her approaches can work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. ACT is useful for anxiety, low motivation, and ongoing stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. CBT often uses exercises between sessions to build new habits. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect connection now and can help improve communication and trust in close relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust the plan over time. This collaborative process helps people find what actually helps in their life.

Confirm the therapist's current online session options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit around work, caregiving, or treatment for chronic illness. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions that avoid being on camera if that helps someone stay focused. Discuss practical preferences and scheduling when you complete the intake questionnaire so sessions match your routine.
