Hi. I am honored that you are looking at my profile. It can be overwhelming to reach out for help, and I am so glad you are here to take the first step!
My name is Johanna and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years' experience working as a therapist. I have experience working with people of all ages and concerns, specifically trauma, stress management, anxiety, conflict and relationship issues. I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings providing individual, family and group therapy.
My approach to therapy is down to earth and laid back. I firmly believe that change happens within the context of the relationship so it's important to connect with the right therapist. I want all the people I work with to feel safe, respected and accepted. I really enjoy working with individuals and helping them realize their potential and watching them reach the goals they set for themselves. I believe in starting where you are and working on the issues that are important to you. Healing is possible.
Thank you and I look forward to working with you.
Johanna

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.
