“She has a truly unique approach to therapy—one that somehow manages to make me cry, laugh, and reflect all in the same hour. I feel safe, heard, and understood.
What I love most is how I can talk to her about anything, even the things that feel messy or complicated, and she always offers thoughtful, practical ways to navigate through them. Her insights feel like real solutions—not just surface-level advice, but tools that actually help me move forward in my life.”

Getting to know Joanna Mcbride
Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and received my Master of Social Work degree from The Catholic University of America. I have been working with clients in a therapeutic setting for over 20 years, focusing on addressing current behaviors that are no longer helpful in their personal and professional lives. I help clients view their behaviors through a lens of compassion rather than judgment so we can work together to find the underlying cause of their pain.
I teach skills that challenge negative thought patterns and core beliefs using a cognitive behavioral approach, as well as techniques to manage intense emotions during times of stress. Together, we explore deeper issues with thoughtfulness and respect for your experiences.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

Wonderful experience during my therapy session. She is emphatic and balances well the moments for us to talk and for her to contribute with her insights. Offers hints to cope with the anxiety and stress. I cannot wait for our next session.

Joanna McBride is amazing. She made me feel truly heard and validated. something I’ve been needing more than I can express. I came in overwhelmed and in despair, and she helped me slow down, focus, and feel supported. Her guidance was both practical and empowering. The thoughtful homework gave me direction and helped me feel in control. In a moment of hopelessness, she helped me see light at the end of the tunnel.

words can’t fully express what my therapist has done for me. She held space for my trauma, my pain, my fears—without judgment, without rushing me, without making me feel like a case number or a problem to fix. She sees me. She sees the hell I’ve been surviving. & somehow, through a screen, she’s managed to reach into my life & remind me that I matter, that my story matters, & that healing is possible, even after all this. She helps me breathe again. She’s not just a therapist. She’s a lifeline.
