More about Joana
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through a wide range of emotional challenges. I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and self-esteem concerns with compassion and skill.
My areas of focus include helping you build self-love and confidence, improve communication in your relationships, and work through social anxiety. I also specialize in supporting survivors of sexual assault and abuse, those processing posttraumatic stress, and individuals exploring body image concerns. I have experience supporting clients through pregnancy and childbirth transitions, relationship structures including polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, seasonal affective patterns, dissociation, self-harm, and addiction.
I bring a client-centered approach grounded in evidence-based practices. My goal is to create a safe, affirming space where you feel heard and supported as you work toward healing and growth. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to serve a broader community.
Starting therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
