About Joanna
Joanna Hernandez-Caudron is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Colorado with eight years of experience. She works with adults coping with stress, anxiety, depression, and issues that touch identity and belonging, including LGBT concerns and family-related strain.
She focuses on helping people who feel isolated, burdened by shame or guilt, or overwhelmed after trauma or major life changes. Sessions are presented in straightforward language that aims to make difficult feelings easier to talk about. Joanna offers therapy in English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
Joanna often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. She also draws on Internal Family Systems to map the different parts of a person’s inner experience and how those parts relate to guilt, self-criticism, or avoidance.
Her background emphasizes multicultural concerns and work with people who face prejudice or immigration stress. She supports women’s health issues, postpartum and pregnancy-related concerns, and people living with chronic pain or illness. The approach combines practical coping strategies with attention to how identity and context shape feelings.
People can expect sessions that focus on clearer thinking, steadier routines, and small steps toward handling shame or guilt. To begin, visitors are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site’s online options.
How her methods translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people observe painful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It is often used for anxiety, mood struggles, and persistent guilt by shifting focus from thought control to value-driven steps.Internal Family Systems looks at inner parts - the self-critical voice, the hurt part, the protective part - and how they interact. It can help people understand why shame or guilt feels so dominant and create new, less reactive ways of relating to those parts.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work. Joanna will discuss goals, symptoms, and preferences and then try methods that fit each person’s situation. That decision is collaborative and may evolve as issues like trauma, identity, or chronic pain become clearer.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting work around busy days and reducing travel time so appointments are easier to keep. Some formats use less bandwidth or don’t require being on camera, which can make check-ins quicker. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are offered before booking to find what fits everyday life.
