About Jo Ann Farmer

Jo Ann Farmer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 19 years of experience in the behavioral health field and a Certified Anger Management Specialist.

She brings a personable, interactive style to her work and believes people can create meaningful change when they receive timely support and practical guidance.

Jo Ann integrates a variety of therapeutic techniques to match each client’s needs and capacity for engagement. She commonly uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person's own goals, cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and solution-focused tools to build concrete steps toward change. Her practice has included work with survivors of child abuse, trauma, domestic violence, divorce, family separation, and blended family conflict, and she has experience addressing addictions, relationship problems, anger management, low self-esteem, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and stress.

Clients also benefit from her experience treating depression, anxiety, grief, ADHD, and bipolar disorder. As someone who identifies as Christian, Jo Ann naturally draws on biblical principles when it aligns with a client’s values.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Jo Ann Farmer draws from established therapies that translate well to remote work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports their personal goals - this approach is helpful for building trust and clarifying values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on practical steps and short-term goals to create noticeable change quickly, making it useful for clients seeking concrete strategies for everyday challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jo Ann collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. That collaborative stance helps tailor sessions so they remain relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when care happens. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can access licensed professionals from different locations, accommodate varied schedules, and maintain continuity of care during life transitions. These options support consistent progress while aligning with each client’s practical needs and communication style.
