About Joanne

Joanne Scarrone is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania who works with adults seeking support for stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, ADHD, and related concerns.

Background and approach

She frames care around each person’s unique story and resources, meeting clients where they are and helping them build practical strategies to manage everyday challenges. Her style blends empathy with skill-focused tools to address issues like grief, isolation, anger, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue.

With two decades of clinical experience, Joanne draws on training that includes a Bachelor of Arts from Seton Hill University and a Master’s degree from Duquesne University, plus 11 years of clinical work alongside a psychologist.

That background deepened her understanding of how thoughts, emotions, and body states interact, and informs a practice that integrates client-centered listening with techniques to change unhelpful patterns. Outside of counseling she paints and gardens, with a particular interest in portraiture that seeks to capture a person’s essence as well as their likeness.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Joanne commonly blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness techniques. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathic listening and supporting the person’s own goals; it helps people feel heard and supported while they explore concerns such as loneliness, self-worth, or life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors with structured exercises and skill-building to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and emotional regulation.

Determining the best therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Joanne works together with each client to identify priorities, try different methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. This shared decision-making allows therapy to evolve to fit a client’s goals and preferences rather than relying on a single technique.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and fit busy lives. These remote options make it easier to attend regularly, practice skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt the chosen approaches to work effectively in these formats while focusing on practical strategies and emotional support.
