About JoAnn
JoAnn Park is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 30 years of experience. She works with people who face stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, trauma and depression, and she lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas. Her background includes long experience with substance use issues and support around anxiety and mood concerns.
JoAnn uses a range of therapeutic approaches and chooses methods based on what each person needs. She often draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that have developed over time. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and mindfulness practices to help manage stress and worry.
Sessions are guided by the problem at hand and the client’s goals. JoAnn has experience with Addiction work and is familiar with Alcoholics Anonymous practices. She also supports people dealing with grief, intimacy difficulties, sleep and eating concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Her practice acknowledges personal values; she identifies as Christian and respects other people’s choices. JoAnn aims to adapt her approach to the situation rather than follow a single method, which means the therapy plan can change as progress is made.
People coming for help can expect straightforward conversation about patterns, clear behavioral strategies, and practical steps to handle symptoms. She balances longer-term exploration with solution-focused work when that fits the client’s needs.
How her approaches translate to online work
JoAnn commonly blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people set their own goals, which can help with confidence and social worries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety and phobias active, using practical exercises to reduce avoidance and build new skills.She also uses elements of Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address patterns in close relationships and to name emotions more clearly. These approaches are explained and chosen together, so the therapist and client decide which methods fit the person’s goals and preferences as they go.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Many people find remote work easier to schedule, and it can make it simpler to keep regular short check-ins during busy weeks or to use tools like worksheets and breathing exercises between meetings. The therapist will discuss how to shape sessions to fit day-to-day life and the goals you bring to therapy.
