From the very first session, I had a clear sense that I liked Joanna, and also that I liked her interpretation of me. I felt understood in a way that was accurate and generous, which immediately created trust. I came to therapy with an ADHD diagnosis layered on top of a recent IBS diagnosis, and a feeling of needing to understand those things. What I didn’t know was that I needed someone who would hold that complexity without pathologizing it. That is exactly what I have experienced and it has made me feel so much more relaxed. Sessions with her feel genuinely uplifting. I leave with more clarity, and a sense of steadiness. Most importantly, I feel respected. I do not feel reduced to a diagnosis. I feel seen as someone thoughtful, driven, and capable who is choosing to reflect and grow. Joanna does not rush to fix, label, or simplify. She listens carefully, reflects thoughtfully, and asks good questions gently and clearly. I feel pushed to view things and ask myself questions in a way that supports growth rather than shame. As a therapist, Joanna is kind and supportive in a way that feels respectful and steady, never patronizing. Her insight, intelligence, and knowledge make working with her feel very worthwhile. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist with ability to see straight to the core of things, often articulating what matters most before you are able to fully see it yourself.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
