Background and approach

Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies are woven in when those tools fit the situation. She has experience with trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related issues. Additional areas she addresses include caregiving stress, aging and geriatric concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family issues, cancer and hospice-related concerns, and intellectual disability.

Jo Ann adjusts her approach so it fits each individual case. Her training includes a Master’s degree in Community Counseling earned in 2007. Jo Ann holds the LPC credential and the LCPC credential.

She aims to help people identify realistic next steps and to build skills they can use outside of sessions.

Approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client, creating a space where concerns like grief or parenting stress can be explored at the client’s pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a practical method that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and improve coping.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jo Ann will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to use, based on needs, goals, and preferences. That means starting with conversation, trying techniques, and adjusting what isn’t helpful so the plan fits the person.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These formats let people connect from different places and fit sessions into busy schedules. They also allow the therapist to use CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and client-centered discussion in ways that match each person’s life and routine.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
