About M
M Jo Yeske-Bishop is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin with 27 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, and changes that come with life. She also supports those dealing with anger, compassion fatigue, self-esteem struggles, and LGBT-related issues.
Yeske-Bishop aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can share thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on developing flexible ways to manage problems and make daily life more meaningful.
How M works
She often blends approaches to match each person's needs. Her work draws on several research-based methods, including acceptance and commitment strategies, cognitive behavioral ideas, client-centered listening, and mindfulness practices. That mix allows her to shift methods when a different tool will help.
The goal is practical change rather than fitting a client to one fixed model. People commonly come for help with family of origin issues, codependency, guilt and shame, emptiness, midlife questions, and finding life purpose. Mood disorders and trauma-related concerns are also within her focus areas.
She adapts techniques to address multiple or complex problems. Yeske-Bishop notes that scheduling varies since she is semi-retired, with some regular availability on Wednesday afternoons and other times by arrangement. She checks messages twice daily, near noon and in the early evening, and asks people to use the site's Start Therapy flow to begin the matching and scheduling process.

Online support options
Approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate their actions, and it focuses on choosing actions that match personal values. This can help with anxiety, depression, life transitions, and questions about purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, mood issues, and stress-related problems. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they choose or combine methods and adjust as progress is made. Online sessions offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be helpful when on the go. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins, quick reflections, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work when schedules or locations change.Start online instead of waiting
