I really appreciate Joanna’s listening skills and her insight into the issues behind what I’m saying. She helps me so much by turning my venting and rambling into things that can be addressed, and she suggests concrete tasks (e.g., journaling, completing various assessments) which help me address things. I continue to see Joanna because my anxiety is greatly reduced, my thoughts are clearer, and I have a more realistic perspective on my life events when I do so regularly.

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.

Joanna has been very helpful , she listens to my concerns and suggested good advice
I really appreciate Joanna’s listening skills and her insight into the issues behind what I’m saying. She helps me so much by turning my venting and rambling into things that can be addressed, and she suggests concrete tasks (e.g., journaling, completing various assessments) which help me address things. I continue to see Joanna because my anxiety is greatly reduced, my thoughts are clearer, and I have a more realistic perspective on my life events when I do so regularly.
Joanna has been absolutely amazing. I went into this thinking that I wasn’t really going to benefit from therapy, but that hasn’t been the case. Joanna has helped me focus on what’s important now and has helped me reflect on what I want/don’t want in my life moving forward. She’s an excellent listener and makes me feel very comfortable.
Shes very nice and understanding. Shes very helpful. Would reccomend her to anyone for sure!
