About Joan

Joan Pruitt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She works from an integrative, evidence-informed stance that draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Jungian perspectives, and mindfulness practices to help clients address stress, anxiety, depression, and a variety of life transitions.

Background and approach

Joan emphasizes the client as the primary expert in their own story and partners with them to build on existing strengths while developing practical skills for change. Her practice includes support for grief and loss, compassion fatigue, addictions, and intimacy-related concerns, along with relationship and family difficulties.

Joan also attends to issues around self-esteem, career challenges, eating concerns, anger, and ADHD, and offers additional focus in areas such as aging and geriatric issues, divorce and separation, and hospice and end-of-life counseling. She frames therapy as a collaborative process, helping clients take courageous steps toward more fulfilling and manageable lives.

Approachable online therapy grounded in CBT and mindfulness

Joan integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy into online work to address patterns of thought and build present-moment awareness. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, and other difficulties, offering concrete tools for symptom relief and behavioral change. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates attention to the present moment and acceptance, which can help with emotional regulation, coping with grief, and reducing reactivity in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey rather than a fixed prescription. Joan collaborates with clients to explore which methods feel most helpful based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time so the work remains responsive and practical.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access across different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit therapy into busy lives, and use specific tools between sessions, while allowing clients to engage in a way that best supports their progress.
