About Jo

Jo Baker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Mississippi with 12 years of experience. She works with people facing a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, ADHD, mood disorders, and relationship or family challenges.

Background and approach

Her practice also includes work related to parenting, grief, self-esteem, career stress, and complex issues such as adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, and obsessive or compulsive symptoms. Her style is warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative, with an emphasis on building a trusting therapeutic relationship.

She draws on a blend of evidence-informed methods tailored to each person’s needs, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered approaches, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). Jo helps clients learn practical skills for coping, managing emotions, and improving communication while also attending to the underlying patterns that sustain distress.

Clients seeking flexible care will find that Jo offers multiple remote session formats and works with presentation across the lifespan. Her goal is to partner with clients to clarify goals, try approaches that fit their situation, and support sustainable change over time.

How Jo’s Approaches Work Online

Jo integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering concrete skills for anxiety, mood concerns, and obsessive behaviors. ACT emphasizes values-based action and mindful acceptance of difficult thoughts or feelings, which can help with stress, avoidance, and life transitions.

Deciding on an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences, and the problems you want to address, and then tailor methods accordingly. That may mean combining techniques from CBT and ACT or shifting emphasis as progress and needs evolve, with ongoing review and adjustment together.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access support from Mississippi without the need for travel.
