Hi there, I'm Joann!
Hello, thank you for reviewing my background and therapy style. I understand it is not an easy process to choose a therapist or begin therapy. My approach to providing care is to build a collaborative, trusting relationship. I believe in empathetic understanding without judgment and providing appropriate coping strategies.
My focus
I have experience working in a variety of treatment areas, including depression/anxiety, substance use disorders, and stress management due to situational transitions, crisis, and medical diagnosis. I encourage exploring how clients manage and understand emotions, examining misassumptions while building personal insights.
My approach
I believe in goal-oriented therapy, combining person-centered counseling and cognitive-behavioral therapy with support. Translated, this means I am actively listening to what the client is experiencing, and reflecting/processing the feelings involved. Goals include less sense of powerlessness, increased self-understanding and self-worth.
