About Joanna
LCSW in Colorado with eight years' experience, Joanna Hernandez-Caudron helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and LGBT-related concerns. She works with individuals who are coping with social anxiety, isolation, trauma, mood disorders, and multicultural stressors. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and available to international clients.
Joanna uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Internal Family Systems as core approaches. She focuses on practical skills - noticing thoughts, clarifying values, and building small behavioral changes that fit daily life. She also helps people identify internal parts that influence behavior and feelings, then negotiates with those parts to reduce conflict.
Her practice pays attention to how culture and identity shape distress. She listens for experiences of prejudice, immigration stress, and issues tied to gender and sexuality. That background informs how she frames coping strategies and when she introduces tools from ACT or Internal Family Systems.
Work often begins with short, concrete goals. Joanna helps people try small experiments between sessions, track what helps, and adjust the plan as needed. She also supports people dealing with attachment concerns, chronic illness and pain, postpartum mood changes, and guilt or shame.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation about what is causing strain and what steps are practical right now. The emphasis is on collaboration and on methods that fit a person's life, culture, and language preferences.

How her approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters to them, and take manageable steps toward those values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. Internal Family Systems looks at the different internal parts that hold emotions or beliefs and guides a conversational process to reduce internal conflict and distress.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Joanna will work with clients to see which methods fit their goals, needs, and cultural background. She adjusts techniques as people report what works and what does not during early sessions.
Confirm current session options before booking, since the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also allows clinicians and clients to practice ACT exercises and Internal Family Systems conversations between sessions, and to test small behavior changes in everyday contexts.
