More about JoAnne

  • 16 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York State and have been in practice for 16 years. My focus has been on helping people to effect the change they are looking to make via motivational approaches, cognitive-behavioral interventions, person-centered and solution-focused interventions. I work with the belief that people are the experts in their own lives and my role is to help them get the solutions they are looking for to their personal life’s challenges. I use an eclectic approach to help you find what works in your life. I understand busy schedules and will work with you to find time for yourself and those that matter most to you.

I specialize in treating addictions and mental health complex disorders (co-occurring disorders) to include trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting, gambling disorders, parenting concerns, and family therapy. In addition, I am experienced in working with the LGBTQ community, intimate partner violence, anger management, self-care, and vicarious trauma (Compassion fatigue).

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.
