About Yeneisy

Yeneisy Fernandez is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida who focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, and depression.

Background and approach

With 13 years of clinical experience, she helps clients navigate challenges such as attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, and communication or control problems. Her work also addresses avoidant personality patterns, commitment and codependency concerns, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters.

Yeneisy emphasizes a collaborative and strengths-based approach that recognizes each person as the expert on their own life. She draws from a range of evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to tailor care to individual needs.

Fluent in English and Spanish, she is available to clients in Florida and accepts international clients. Yeneisy supports people through practical skills-building, exploration of relational patterns, and development of coping strategies to promote clearer thinking, healthier relationships, and greater resilience.

Approaches for Online Growth and Emotional Skills

Yeneisy integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, and stressful situations. CBT offers structured exercises and homework to build clearer thinking and behavioural change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also used to support values-driven action and to cultivate acceptance of difficult feelings while committing to meaningful goals. This approach often helps people struggling with avoidance, chronic stress, or ongoing health challenges.

Therapy is collaborative and exploratory, with the clinician working alongside clients to determine which approach or combination of approaches best matches their needs, goals, and preferences. Finding the right therapeutic fit is presented as a process rather than a one-time decision, and adjustments can be made over time based on how a person responds.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for scheduling and ongoing support. These formats allow for skills practice, check-ins, and therapeutic work from different locations, making it easier for clients to access care while balancing life responsibilities.
