More about JoAnna

  • 5 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCPC

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over a decade of hands on experience across school systems, crisis response, child welfare, and community mental health. Currently pursuing my Doctorate in International Psychology at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, I am passionate about offering therapy that is rooted in advocacy, cultural awareness, and whole person healing.

My work has always centered those most impacted by systems, and I am committed to creating emotionally safe, culturally attuned spaces where people can be seen, heard, and restored. As a therapist, I integrate trauma-informed care, strengths-based practice, and solution focused therapy with a deep respect for identity, community, and resilience. I believe that healing is both personal and collective, and that mental health support should be tailored, empowering, and affirming.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
