About Jo

Dr. Jo Ann Lee is a licensed psychologist practicing in Florida with three decades of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She has worked extensively with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, grief, relationship and intimacy challenges, ADHD, addictions, and a wide range of life transitions. Her background includes supporting clients through bereavement, parenting concerns, job-related strain, and recovery from past emotional and physical abuse, as well as helping individuals who have faced incarceration navigate isolation and reintegration.

Her therapeutic stance blends practical, goal-oriented methods with respect for each person’s individuality. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts, develop coping strategies, and set achievable goals.

Throughout treatment she emphasizes warmth, collaboration, and empowering clients to make meaningful changes that improve daily functioning and wellbeing.

Practical approaches for online therapy and change

Dr. Jo Ann Lee commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify patterns of thinking that contribute to anxiety, depression, or problematic behaviors and to practice new, more effective responses. She also employs Solution-Focused Therapy, which emphasizes clients' strengths and small, concrete steps toward achievable goals to produce measurable progress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client work together to clarify concerns, set priorities, and decide whether CBT, solution-focused work, or a mix of methods best suits the person's needs and goals. Treatment is guided by the client's preferences and the practical outcomes they hope to achieve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from different locations while working with a licensed professional.
