More about Joanna
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC, LCMHC
I am a license mental health counselor in Florida with over 3 years of experience working as a therapist and 20 plus years working within case management programs. I have worked with clients with various concerns including depression, anxiety, anger management, adjustment issues, relationship issues, behavior challenges, career challenges, OCD, grief & loss, substance use disorders and complex traumas.
My approach to therapy is openly inviting and collaborating with my clients. Everyone is treated with respect and compassion; I am sensitive to the needs of my clients, and I avoid labels at all costs. The types of modalities that are applied are cognitive-behavioral therapy, humanistic approach, psychotherapy, rational-emotive therapy, Internal Family System and Trauma Focus therapy.
Through counseling, possibilities are limitless and positive life skills can be achieved. Taking that leap is the first step to towards that change and I look forward to taking that next step with you!
Finding Hope…one step at time.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
