About JoAnn
JoAnn Park is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of practice in New York. She brings long experience working with addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, and stress. JoAnn aims to meet each person where they are and tailor sessions to real-life needs.
She uses a psychodynamic perspective alongside other approaches. That means she pays attention to patterns from the past that affect current feelings and behavior. She also draws on practical methods to address immediate concerns like panic attacks, sleep problems, and substance use.
How JoAnn works
JoAnn often helps people who are coping with relationship pain, intimacy issues, and communication problems. She also supports those wrestling with shame, guilt, jealousy, and recovery from trauma. Clients may work on rebuilding self-esteem, developing better coping skills, or managing compassion fatigue.
Her work includes tools from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches for symptom relief. Emotionally-focused methods are used for exploring strong feelings inside relationships. Sessions are shaped by the individual’s goals and what feels most helpful in the moment.
JoAnn respects clients’ personal beliefs and life choices. She has familiarity with Alcoholics Anonymous and long-term addiction support. People who prefer a mix of insight and practical strategies may find her approach useful.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care that adapt to you
JoAnn uses psychodynamic therapy to look at how past patterns shape current feelings and behavior; this helps when recurring relationship issues, unresolved grief, or long-standing anxiety keep coming up. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and replacing them with practical skills to reduce panic, manage mood, and improve sleep. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is part of her work with strong relational feelings, offering ways to name emotions and change how people respond to one another.Choosing the right approach is a collaboration. JoAnn will discuss goals and try different methods to see what helps most. Together she and the client decide whether to focus on insight, skill-building, or a mix of both as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and preferences. Video calls let therapists observe nonverbal cues, phone sessions require less bandwidth, live chat can work for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing brief contact between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
