Approach and online therapy options

Joanne draws on client-centered work that keeps the person's priorities at the center and on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people recognize unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters most to a person, while CBT offers concrete steps to change thought patterns that feed anxiety or depression.

She also uses trauma-focused techniques for people who carry the effects of past abuse or traumatic events. These approaches aim to reduce the emotional charge of painful memories and to restore daily functioning and safety in relationships.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Joanne will discuss goals, preferences, and life demands and then suggest approaches that fit the client's needs. Together you can try options and adjust the plan if something does not feel helpful.
