Hello and welcome! Thank you for taking a few moments of your time to read about me. Whether you choose to work with me or another therapist, I truly hope you find what you are looking for.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist in the state of North Carolina, a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Wisconsin, and a Registered Yoga Teacher. I have over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. I completed a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Northcentral University, a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Liberty University, and Doctorate of Education in Community Counseling: Traumatology Cognate from Liberty University.

I sincerely believe that therapy should be a place of total acceptance and non-judgement where personal growth and change can be cultivated. My approach is eclectic and includes the following therapeutic approaches based on the needs of the individual: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I have a passion for treating trauma and am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. In addition to those credentials, I am a Board Certified Telemental Health practitioner. As a yoga and meditation teacher, I have extra experience helping those trying to connect their mind-body-spirit! I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families dealing with a variety of issues to include depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, abuse, parenting, couples counseling, and military issues.

I commend you for taking the first step to begin counseling, and I know it can be intimidating! Recognizing you need extra support is already the step in the right direction and I am excited to help you become the best version of yourself!

PLEASE NOTE: I only of offer MESSAGING on the BetterHelp platform. If you signed up with BetterHelp subscription service therapy to have video or phone live sessions, I strongly recommend that you choose a therapist who offers video/phone sessions on the BetterHelp platform.

I love having Joanne as my therapist. She is honest with me and gives me a different perspective of things. She had been a pleasure to talk to and always takes what I say to heart. I use to not like the idea of even trying therapy until I started with her.

 Apr 11, 2022 by H.E. 
The best listener and always there to help!

 Jan 18, 2022 by B.E. 
Joanne is truly the best therapist I've ever had. She has helped me with so many different things now and I am so grateful for her! The Better Help avenue is so much easier to use than traditional therapy routes, I get so much more out of it this way.

Joanne is excellent at drawing the answers out of me and helping greatly with the hard questions.

Therapy is new to me and Joanne has been incredible!! She’s comforting, accepting and offered many options to help me learn to cope and heal from a unique experience. She focuses on finding things that work specifically for me and educating me to ensure I understand. I’m very lucky to have found her!!

I have loved working with Joanne! She is thoughtful, but not pushy, and truly listens to all of my concerns. I know she always supports me, yet holds me accountable, which I need.

Joanne does an amazing job of creating a respectful and open space to talk. I know that she listens fully to what I have to say and provides thoughtful and helpful solutions to my struggles. She is kind and caring and finds ways to infuse humor into the conversation which is a welcomed and supportive persepctive.

 Feb 22, 2021 by L.E. 
Though I have not been in contact with her for an extremely long time she is very helpful, she is patient and kind. I would highly recommend her people with social anxiety as she is very easy to talk to.

Joanne has been a great listener. Although, there are times I go a long period without responding to her, she without hesitation continues to reach out to make sure I am doing okay. She is very like minded like myself and I would fully recommend her to anyone who is into meditation, spiritual and self love.

Great listener. Very intelligent conversation and asks good questions that make you think about your thought process or what you are doing. Very timely responses and it is very obvious that she reads everything you send her and she has an honest intention to make you feel better.

 Jun 10, 2020 by J.E. 
I have been working with Joanne for just a few weeks and I feel like she totally understands me already. She does not push me which has happened in the past with different therapists which turned me off to therapy altogether. I really like Joanne’s approach. She asks questions, offers great insight and I really dig when she sends articles and worksheets. I have never experienced that before. It really helps when working on certain situations. I have been struggling with addiction issues for a while. Joanne’s knowledge in this area is so helpful because I have a lot of questions and need help understanding what I need to do to stay sober.

 May 14, 2020 by E.M. 
Joanne has been amazing! She asks the right questions and is very quick to offer resources and worksheets that are helpful. She is a great listener and responds promptly.

 Aug 27, 2019 by B.E. 
Joanne has been amazing! She's helped me so much. I felt stuck in my recovery until talking with her but now I feel like I'm making progress again with her help. She pushes me exactly the way I need and does so in a way that I never feel unsafe or judged. Thank you, Joanne!

 Aug 09, 2019 by W.I. 
Joanne is my second time around on BetterHelp, she pushed me to keep the conversation going. I like her A LOT! She is incredibly interactive and gives you plenty of time to reply. she very neutral when we talk about myself and my reflections and I really like how she handles issues and builds questions and worksheets from it.

 Mar 19, 2019 by J.O. 
Joannne has been great. She has given me a lot of great advice and techniques and reaches out if she hasn’t heard from me for a day or so to check in.
