More about Joanne

  • 8 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMHC, LPC

Hello and welcome to betterhelp!

I am a licensed mental health counselor in New York state with 8 years of experience as an inpatient behavioral health counselor and emergency room crisis counselor. Additionally, I'm licensed in South Carolina as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I've also worked with teens in a residential treatment facility focusing on trauma experiences. Additionally, I have over 30 years of experience working as a Behavior Specialist and am a Licensed Behavior Analyst in New York State. I have worked with people with a variety of concerns such as depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, and anger challenges.

My counseling approach is predominately a cognitive-behavioral one. I believe in developing a good professional relationship based on mutual trust, respect, honesty, and compassion. Treatment will be based on your individual needs and with your input as I believe this is a critical aspect of counseling.

Taking this first step to seek change is a courageous one! I am here to support you on your journey of discovery.

I look forward to working with you!

Joanne

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.

Joanne has been an immense help to me in working on a variety of issues including anxiety, depression. Isolation and over-drinking. She’s experienced, practical and just plain nice. I’ve worked with a few different therapists off and on over the decades, and she was the perfect fit for where I was at when I called Better Help. I’ve come a long way since that call, and I’m very, very grateful to her.

Reviewed January 2023

I was always hesitant and scared of therapy and meeting Joanne was the best thing that could’ve happened. Joanne makes me feel like I can say anything without judgment, and that’s exactly what therapy should feel like. I recommend her 100%.

Joanne is truly great at her job. The way she holds space truly allowed me to find courage in my choices. She really held space for me to heal myself which I was not fully sure could happen in therapy, but I am so glad I went. As a Black, queer femme, I highly recommend Joanne because she is truly here to help as best she can. Thank you. I look forward to working with you again someday if I should need it.

Joanne was exactly what I needed during a difficult period in my life. I am very thankful that I was matched with her!!

Reviewed August 2022

Joanne has been open minded, respectful, and understanding from the start. She is a great listener and is very professional, so I trust being able to tell her most things. I know that she won't judge me, no matter what state I'm in or what I say. Being able to be vulnerable with someone who maintains a neutral perspective has been very grounding.  She won't tell you what to do, but will rather encourage you to think of what your options are and what choice to make. I like that she respects my agency over my life, despite my struggles and weaknesses. I would recommend her as a counselor for anyone who has an idea of what they'd like to work on for themselves, but maybe needs some support, feedback and consistent check-ins to stay on track.

I cant even begin to explain how amazing Joanne is. Our sessions were filled with laughter, great advice and she always told me to write down things from the week I wanted to talk about, that way we can use our sessions to talk about everything.
