Approaches used in online therapy and how they help

Jo Ann integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and anger. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person’s priorities, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk through difficult issues.

She often brings mindfulness practices into sessions to teach simple breathing and attention skills that reduce stress and improve emotional regulation. These methods are practical and taught in plain language so they can be used between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jo Ann will collaborate with clients to figure out which combination of methods fits their goals and preferences. She adjusts plans over time based on what is helping and what feels manageable for the client.

Confirm the therapist’s current online session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the profile.
