About Jo
Jo Ann Farmer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 19 years in behavioral health. She decided to become a counselor after getting help herself during a difficult period. That personal experience shaped her compassionate style and commitment to helping others find practical ways forward.
Her approach is personable and interactive. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear, manageable goals. She often uses everyday tools and conversations that fit into busy lives. Jo Ann draws on her Christian perspective when clients welcome that as part of care.

She also helps with stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, grief, parenting concerns, ADHD, and coping with life changes. She aims to give steady support during hard moments.
Her methods come from well-known therapeutic ideas such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She chooses techniques based on each person's needs and how they prefer to work. This means sessions focus on practical skills and clear next steps when that helps.

How her approaches guide online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what a person says, helping them find their own solutions and build on strengths. It is useful when someone needs emotional support and a respectful, nonjudgmental space.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jo Ann will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will help choose or adapt methods that fit. That decision is made together and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and keep continuity of care across locations. Practical benefits include shorter check-ins when needed, easier access from different places, and the ability to continue work while traveling or living abroad. The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking.
