I've been working with Joan for several months now and look forward to our sessions. As a therapist myself, I feel I have a at least some knowledge of "what's out there" and couldn't imagine why I would change. She asks sometimes tough questions that lead me to the work I need to do, and I greatly appreciate that.
More about Joan
- 30 years' experience
- Female
- LICSW
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with a Master of Social Work degree from Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ. I have over 30 years experience in the areas of post-traumatic stress, life transitions such as recovery from divorce, life after retirement or the management of health challenges and a specialty in empowering domestic violence survivors.
I believe that I am a partner and guide to help others achieve stability, personal growth and inner peace. I consider it a privilege when someone shares a personal life story with me, and I respect the courage it takes to do that. I will help to identify strengths and to build confidence, as well as lead to resources which will give tools for a fulfilling life.

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.
