What an amazing therapist Jo is. She listens and asks questions that break through right to the heart of the matter. I have learned so much about myself and I have coping skills that I never would have had without her help.
More about Jo
- 12 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW) In Mississippi with more than 10 years experience in private practice, working with children, adolescents, adults and families. I have worked with clients dealing with a wide range of issues and challenges including, ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, and other concerns. I am an ADHD - Certified Clinical Service Provider (ADHD-CCSP), a Child and Adolescent Trauma Professional (CATP), and a neurodiversity specialist.
My approach is warm and non-judgmental and based on the belief that a trusting relationship between client and therapist is critical. The treatment methods I utilize are dictated by the individual needs of the client, and combine practices and techniques from several treatment modalities including Cognitive-Behavioral, Mindfulness, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy and others.
The therapeutic process is a joint effort between client and therapist. I pledge to bring the best I have to offer to that process as we work to help you feel better and improve your quality of life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She has been my rock over the last year.
What an amazing therapist Jo is. She listens and asks questions that break through right to the heart of the matter. I have learned so much about myself and I have coping skills that I never would have had without her help.
Ms. Jo is a very down to earth person and very easy to talk to , she is also very solution oriented and does not mind sharing her own life experiences which made me feel even more comfortable opening up to her . She has given me some great tools to use and think about as I go on my healing journey . I am glad to have been connected with her .
Jo listened to me to understand clearly what my issues were. She asked questions for clarification and provided good counseling tips as well as some coaching tips to help control son issues I’m having. She made me feel comfortable with speaking with her .
I have never felt more seen in my life. Jo is so easy to talk to and understands exactly what I am trying to say. I immediately relaxed the tension in my shoulders after our first session. I couldn’t recommend Jo more.
Jo is an exceptional therapist. Her expertise and kindness has really helped me.
Jo is so easy to talk to. She really listens to what’s on your mind and gives you tips/ tools to help with whatever problem you might be struggling with.
Super sweet caring and always helpful on any way possible.
