How Jo works
She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and reactions.

Online support options
Approach-informed online therapy for lasting change
Jo Ann often combines attachment-based methods with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people understand patterns and change unhelpful thinking. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and behaviors and can help with trust, abandonment, and relationship struggles. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns that fuel anxiety or depression and on practicing different responses to those thoughts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jo Ann collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She will talk with the client about what feels most useful and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into everyday life. Video is useful when visual connection matters, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins and flexible timing. These options help people keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and busy schedules.
