About Joanne

Joanne Mainberger is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 15 years of experience. She helps people across the lifespan explore feelings and behaviors, clarifying wants and needs so clients can move toward practical changes.

Background and approach

Joanne emphasizes strengths and wellness, combining active listening with intuitive clinical judgment to support gradual progress. Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, eating issues, anger, grief, and challenges with intimacy, parenting, career, and mood disorders such as depression and bipolar.

ADHD is among the areas she lists, along with trauma and family relationship issues. Joanne applies a variety of therapeutic tools and regularly checks in with clients to tailor strategies and track outcomes, keeping the client’s priorities central to each session.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Joanne regularly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into her work. CBT focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and build practical skills for anxiety, depression, and coping difficulties. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for intense emotions, relationship strain, and patterns of self-destructive behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Joanne approaches this collaboratively. She will work with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adjusting the blend of methods as therapy unfolds to better match individual needs.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules, support ongoing skill practice between meetings, and allow connections from different locations within Florida. Licensed professionals can use these formats to continue collaborative, skills-based work while accommodating each client’s logistical needs.
