About Joanna

Joanna Hedin is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and related challenges.

Background and approach

With 15 years of experience she helps clients create space to explore difficult emotions, rebuild motivation, and strengthen confidence while attending to practical life stresses such as career strain, caregiving responsibilities, and chronic illness. Her practice emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where clients’ thoughts and feelings can be examined and processed.

Joanna integrates evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and emotionally-focused approaches to tailor work to each person’s needs. She also brings mindfulness and motivational interviewing tools into sessions when helpful for building present-moment awareness and clarifying goals.

Joanna’s background includes supporting people through a wide range of life transitions and specific situations such as grief, infidelity, postpartum adjustment, multicultural and LGBT concerns, and compassion fatigue. She offers flexible session formats from Florida, using video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit clients’ schedules and preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Joanna commonly blends cognitive behavioral strategies with client-centered and emotionally-focused methods to address emotional and behavioral patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship and helps clients explore their feelings and values at their own pace. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding and reshaping emotional responses, which can be especially helpful for relationship and intimacy-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; the therapist works with each person to match techniques to their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. Joanna draws from several methods and will adjust the balance of skills work, reflective listening, and emotion-focused interventions based on what a client needs and how they respond over time.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or health limitations. These formats make it possible to continue therapeutic work from home or while traveling, and Joanna tailors communication style and homework to suit the chosen session type.
