About Joanette

Background and approach

Her work emphasizes an affirming, collaborative stance that invites clients to explore emotions and develop practical strategies for change. Her clinical focus includes stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, and a wide range of related concerns such as parenting, caregiver stress, and communication problems.

Therapy with Joanette is grounded in partnership and empowerment. She uses approaches tailored to individual needs, helping clients set realistic goals, build self-compassion, and strengthen problem-solving abilities.

Integrating therapeutic approaches into flexible online care

Joanette draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to shape online sessions in ways that address thoughts, behaviors, and valued life directions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and building practical skills for mood and behavior change, which can directly target anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. ACT emphasizes values, acceptance, and committed action, helping people tolerate difficult emotions while moving toward meaningful goals, a useful fit for grief, trauma recovery, and life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Joanette works with clients to explore which methods match their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds so the work remains personally relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Joanette is offered through a range of formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options allow scheduling that fits diverse routines, make regular check-ins more attainable, and support continuity of care for clients who travel or live far from the therapist's office. Licensed professionals can adapt these modalities to apply ACT and CBT strategies in ways that fit each client’s life and goals.
