About Joanna
Joanna White is a licensed independent social worker with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people manage anxiety, stress, trauma, eating concerns, and life transitions. Joanna listens closely and designs straightforward steps you can try between sessions.
She began her career after earning a Bachelor’s in Criminal Justice and worked with prisoner reentry programs. Later she completed a Master’s in Social Work at the University of Southern California while working with people affected by domestic and sexual violence.
Background and approach
Those roles shaped her understanding of both survivors and people who have caused harm. In sessions Joanna focuses on practical support. She uses common-sense tools to reduce worry, interrupt unhelpful patterns, and rebuild routines.
She also addresses grief, career pressure, parenting strain, and the impact of trauma on daily life. Joanna draws from several therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance-based work, and emotion-focused conversations. She helps people try new ways of coping and notice what matters most to them.
Her style is direct, warm, and steady. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging for ongoing care. Sessions are available in English and are provided from Ohio by an OH LISW.

How Joanna’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps you notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match your values. It is useful for anxiety, life transitions, and finding more meaning in daily routines. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep stress and worry active, and it provides clear exercises to practice between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanna will talk with you about your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. That process is collaborative - adjustments are made as you learn what helps most.
Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is low or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let you share brief updates, ask questions between meetings, or use written tools when that feels more manageable. These options give flexibility and multiple ways to keep therapeutic progress moving forward.
