More about Joi

- LCSW-C
As a licensed therapist in Maryland, I bring nearly two decades of compassionate mental health experience supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My practice centers on helping clients navigate emotional wellness, with specialized expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, stress management, and career transitions.
I am deeply committed to supporting individuals as they explore self-love, overcome communication barriers, and heal from experiences of isolation and shame. My approach honors each person's unique journey, focusing on empowering clients to develop resilience, rebuild self-esteem, and rediscover their sense of purpose.
My therapeutic work particularly supports women experiencing workplace challenges, midlife transitions, and relationship changes. I create a warm, affirming space where clients can courageously examine their experiences, develop healthier coping strategies, and move toward meaningful personal growth.
Through evidence-based practices and a deeply empathetic approach, I walk alongside my clients, helping them transform challenging life experiences into opportunities for healing and self-discovery.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
