Hi, my name is Viviana Hernandez, and I am licensed in California with 10 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and depression. My first experience in the mental health field was working with victims of domestic violence for about 3 years. I provided individual and group therapy services in English and Spanish. I currently work for a non-profit and I’ve had several opportunities which have allowed me to be in different roles and manage different programs. I was part of the Family Preservation Program (FP), as a counselor and later as the program’s Clinical Supervisor. Family Preservation is a program that works with high-risk families in the child welfare system. The program promotes a safe and nurturing environment for children and collaborates with other agencies to provide comprehensive, trauma-informed, and holistic treatment. I formed part of our program with Department of Mental Health (DMH) as a therapist and currently as a Clinical Supervisor. I’ve worked with clients as young as 5 years old and as old as 65 years old. I have also conducted one-time assessments to determine parental capacity or appropriate services for children after being removed from their home. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
