About Jo
Jo Ann frames sessions around the person in front of her. She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused techniques, and humanistic principles to help people identify what’s not working and try small, doable changes. Conversations are direct but warm, and she aims to make therapy a space where people feel heard and respected.
Her background includes work with incarcerated populations and people reentering open society. That experience shapes how she talks about isolation, trauma, and practical steps for moving forward. She also addresses family-related stress like blended family issues, caregiving strain, and parenting challenges.
Jo Ann carries the credential FL Psychologist PY5608, which indicates licensure to practice psychology in Florida. She offers services in English and accepts clients internationally who can work with a Florida-licensed psychologist.
People seeking help with anger, intimacy, sleep or eating problems, career stress, or coping after loss often find her approach useful. She encourages straightforward goals and realistic steps, so progress can be measured across sessions.
How Jo Ann’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Jo Ann uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in straightforward ways. CBT helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior, test those patterns, and try new actions to reduce anxiety or depression. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, concrete steps and looking for what already works so clients can build quick momentum.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide whether to focus on thoughts and behavior, short-term solutions, or a mix of both, and they adjust as progress is made.
Confirm the therapist's available session options before booking so the format fits your routine. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when needed. Some formats use less bandwidth or a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Discussing these practical needs helps shape sessions that fit everyday life rather than forcing big schedule changes.
