About Jo

Dr. Jo Ann Lee is a Florida psychologist with three decades of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and related concerns. She uses straightforward, respectful care to help people move through difficult life moments.

Her approach is practical and flexible. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy, and tailors sessions to each person’s needs. Conversations usually focus on clear goals, manageable steps, and skills people can try between sessions.

Dr. Lee has worked with people facing emotional and physical abuse and helps those coping with separation, isolation, and major life transitions. She also has experience supporting people dealing with grief, addiction, relationship challenges, parenting stress, and workplace strain. Her background includes work with incarcerated populations and assisting people who are re-entering community life.

In sessions she aims to offer warmth and respect while encouraging practical change. She helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns, try new behaviors, and set concrete short-term goals. Her style balances structured skill work with attention to each person’s lived story.

Clients who value a goal-oriented, collaborative approach may find this style useful. People interested in clear strategies for mood, anxiety, trauma-related concerns, or life adjustments can expect to work on real-life steps to feel and function better.

How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

Dr. Lee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep them stuck, and then practice small, concrete changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and many trauma-related symptoms and focuses on skills you can use between sessions.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to quickly identify practical steps that move people toward their goals. This approach emphasizes strengths, short-term goals, and what is already working, which can be helpful during major life transitions or when immediate change is needed.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, daily routines, and preferences, and then recommend which methods to try first. Decisions about methods and pacing are made together and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Because session formats were not fully detailed in the biography, confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use a consistent provider while living in different places. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and Solution-Focused techniques to work well in remote sessions when that format is available.
