Joanna Hernandez-Caudron, LCSW - Therapist in Colorado

About Joanna

Joanna Hernandez-Caudron offers straightforward, compassionate support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or identity questions. She creates a calm, affirming space where clients can talk through what matters most. Joanna speaks English and Spanish and practices as an LCSW in Colorado.

Joanna uses practical tools to help clients manage strong emotions and everyday pressures. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them.

Background and approach

She also uses Internal Family Systems to help clients understand different parts of themselves and heal old wounds. Her work attends to issues tied to identity and culture, including LGBT concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and multicultural stresses. She also supports people facing postpartum depression, chronic illness or pain, immigration-related stress, and social anxiety.

Joanna brings eight years of clinical experience to each session. She aims to be direct and warm, offering steps people can try between meetings. Treatment planning is collaborative and focused on what the person wants to change.

Sessions may address attachment wounds, family problems, guilt and shame, or trauma reactions. Joanna helps clients build coping skills, clarify values, and take small actions toward a steadier life. She welcomes international clients and works in both English and Spanish.

How Joanna's approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them and then taking steps that match personal values. It tends to help with anxiety, low mood, and ongoing stress by teaching small practical habits. Internal Family Systems looks at the different parts inside someone - for example the anxious part or the critic - and helps them relate to those parts with curiosity and care. This approach can be useful for trauma, shame, or recurring emotional patterns.

Choosing a method is a collaborative process. Joanna will discuss approaches together with each client, tailoring the plan to the person’s goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. She checks in and adjusts the work as progress unfolds, so the client helps shape what feels most useful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, while phone sessions provide an audio-only option. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients send brief updates or check in between scheduled meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy family routines or to continue care when travel or location change would otherwise interrupt progress.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Treats the mind as having distinct parts, each with its own worry or role, and works towards them being less at war with each other. Conversational, so it carries over to online sessions.
