Getting to know JoAnna Cole

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who provides a warm, supportive space for clients to slow down, gain clarity, and feel more grounded in their daily lives. I specialize in working with anxiety, stress, life transitions, and the impact of past experiences, particularly for high-achieving individuals and People of Color. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and focused on helping clients build emotional steadiness, insight, and practical coping skills.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Working with me is a collaborative and reflective process. I balance practical tools with deeper exploration so you can both manage symptoms and understand what is driving them. My style is calm, structured, and supportive, while still allowing space for flexibility and real conversation. I use approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based techniques, interpersonal therapy, and insight-oriented work to support anxiety reduction, emotional regulation, and personal growth. This is a space where you can be honest, feel understood, and begin to show up for your life in a more grounded and sustainable way.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Our first session focuses on understanding your current concerns, background, and what you would like to get out of therapy. We will explore patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and relationships, while identifying areas where you feel stuck or overwhelmed. From there, we work together to develop clear goals and begin building tools to support emotional regulation, reduce anxiety, and process experiences that may be impacting your well-being. Sessions typically include a combination of practical strategies, guided reflection, and ongoing check-ins to track progress. My goal is to help you feel more clear, more grounded, and more in control of how you respond to your life and relationships over time.
