About Joanne
Joanne Scarrone puts client fit first and helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or stuck. She speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person. Joanne is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Pennsylvania with 20 years of experience.
She uses clear, practical methods to address stress, sleep problems, low self-esteem, and challenges like abandonment or isolation. Sessions focus on real-life tools that people can use between meetings.
How Joanne works
Joanne also supports those coping with grief, compassion fatigue, anger, and ADHD-related concerns. Joanne trained after graduate school by working closely with a psychologist for 11 years, which added a strong grounding in how the brain and body interact. She earned a Bachelor of Arts from Seton Hill University and a Master’s degree from Duquesne University.
That background shapes a blend of talking therapies and skill-building techniques. Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy to center the person’s own goals, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors, and Mindfulness Therapy to reduce reactivity. Narrative Therapy helps people make sense of life events and rewrite difficult stories.
Joanne keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what a person needs now. Outside of work she gardens and paints, especially portraits, which reflects her attention to individual stories and details. Her practice aims to help people find steadier ground and clearer next steps.

Online support options
Approaches and Online Options for Practical Support
Joanne commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy means the conversation centers on the person's goals and priorities, with the therapist following the person's lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice reactions without getting swept up by them. That practice teaches simple attention and breathing skills that reduce reactivity and improve sleep and focus.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Joanne will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow fuller interaction, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat formats work well for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people fit therapy into busy lives.
