More about Joanna
- 7 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC
I help clients navigate trauma, anxiety, and the patterns that feel hard to break. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence‑based practices like CBT, DBT‑informed skills, MI, and trauma‑responsive care. I work with adults and young adults who want to feel more grounded, confident, and in control of their lives.
Whether you’re managing panic, healing from past experiences, rebuilding self‑trust, or moving through a major life transition, therapy with me is a space where you can slow down, feel understood, and make meaningful change at your own pace. I bring experience from outpatient, residential, community‑based, and correctional settings, and I’m committed to culturally responsive, inclusive care for diverse identities and backgrounds.
You don’t have to navigate everything alone. Together, we’ll build practical tools, deepen self‑understanding, and create a path forward that feels steady and sustainable.

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.
