About Joanne

Dr. Joanne Hadlock brings more than 35 years of clinical experience to her practice in Massachusetts.

Background and approach

A licensed psychologist (MA Psychologist 4312), she has worked across university clinics, independent practice, and corporate counseling settings, helping people navigate career transitions, relationship challenges, and life changes. Her approach blends practical skill-building with reflective insight, adapting methods to each person's situation rather than following a single formula.

She favors collaborative, humanistic work that emphasizes respect and trust, and she draws on a range of evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment principles, emotionally-focused ideas, and mindfulness practices. Dr.

Hadlock addresses a wide array of concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, trauma, intimacy and relationship problems, and caregiver and family dynamics. She also offers coaching and career counseling aimed at clarifying purpose and improving workplace functioning.

Sessions are offered in multiple online formats to accommodate different schedules and preferences. Prospective clients can expect a flexible, client-centered process that balances insight with practical strategies tailored to their goals and living situation.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Dr. Hadlock uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, a practical approach that often targets symptoms like anxiety, stress, and depression. She also integrates acceptance and commitment concepts that encourage noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committed action to move toward a meaningful life.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She works with clients to explore which methods feel most useful given their goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands, and adapts interventions over time as needs change.

Online therapy with Dr. Hadlock is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow clients to receive ongoing support from a licensed professional without needing to travel, and they make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions or busy work weeks.
