About Jo
Jo Herbig is an AASW-accredited social worker with 22 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, grief and anger. Her approach is calm and practical, aimed at finding manageable steps forward for everyday life.
Jo uses psychotherapy and cognitive behavioural techniques to help people understand patterns that keep them stuck. She works with clients to build clearer thinking, healthier routines and better communication.
Background and approach
Conversations are tailored to each person’s situation and goals. Jo has particular experience with separation and its impact on families. She is a Nationally Accredited Mediator and contributes to a national steering committee that focuses on supporting children through separation using Child Inclusive Practice.
This gives her a grounded perspective when relationship endings affect children and caregiving arrangements. Her style is respectful, sensitive and compassionate. Jo encourages small practical changes alongside reflection about values and purpose.
She aims to make therapy feel manageable and useful from the first session. Jo will work with you to build a customised plan. That can include short-term tools for anxiety and stress, or longer conversations about grief, self-worth and life direction.
She supports people as they take steps toward a more satisfying life.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Jo commonly uses psychotherapy and cognitive behavioural approaches. Psychotherapy offers a space to talk through emotions, past events and relational patterns and can help with grief, self-worth and life direction. Cognitive behavioural work looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to manage anxiety and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jo will discuss options with each person and decide together which techniques suit their goals and preferences. This collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made or needs shift.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy workable around busy lives. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or when a quick check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and messaging can suit shorter updates, ongoing support between sessions or people who prefer writing. These formats aim to increase flexibility and accessibility so therapy can fit into everyday routines.
