About Joanne
Joanne Scarrone is a Pennsylvania licensed professional counselor who works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, grief, relationship struggles, and a range of life transitions.
Background and approach
She emphasizes practical skills and insight to help clients manage emotions, improve coping, and rebuild a sense of balance when life feels overwhelming. Joanne brings 20 years of clinical experience and a background that combines academic training with long-term work alongside a psychologist, where she deepened her understanding of how brain and body responses affect mood and behavior.
Her practice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered, mindfulness, and narrative approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs. She approaches clients with respect for their current resources and a belief that people do the best they can with what they have.
Outside of clinical work she enjoys gardening and painting, with a particular interest in portraiture that aims to capture a person’s inner essence as well as their likeness.
Therapeutic approaches and online access
Joanne commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based techniques to address patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful beliefs and developing practical skills for emotion regulation and problem solving. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and stress-reduction practices that can help with rumination, sleep problems, and emotional reactivity.She also brings client-centered principles to the work, creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where goals and preferences guide treatment decisions. Finding the right approach is presented as a collaborative process; the therapist and client explore which methods best match the client's needs, goals, and comfort level and adjust as progress unfolds.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue care from different locations within Pennsylvania. These formats allow for flexible pacing, frequent check-ins when useful, and a range of interaction styles so clients can engage in the way that feels most helpful to them.
