About Jo

Dr. Jo Ann Lee is a Florida-licensed psychologist with three decades of clinical experience. She focuses on concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, grief, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, and career-related struggles. Her approach is respectful and straightforward, aimed at helping people find practical ways forward.

She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy with a human-centered style. Sessions tend to focus on identifying unhelpful patterns and testing small, doable changes. Clients can expect clear goals, practical strategies, and attention to what matters most to them.

Dr. Lee has long experience supporting people coping with separation, loss, past abuse, and the stress of major life transitions. She has also worked with incarcerated populations and aided people moving back into open society. That background shapes her practical focus on rebuilding routines and coping skills.

Her work often addresses everyday problems like sleep and eating disruptions, parenting strain, caregiver stress, money worries, and panic attacks. She also helps people facing loneliness, commitment doubts, or the emotional fallout of divorce and blended family issues.

Work with Dr. Lee usually centers on clear steps people can try between sessions. She listens, helps set short-term targets, and then revisits what helps and what needs adjusting. This process is aimed at steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes.

How Dr. Lee Uses CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

Dr. Lee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and test unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so people can try small experiments and see what changes help. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes realistic, short-term goals and the steps that move a person toward those goals, which can make progress feel quicker and more concrete.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Lee works with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they set clear targets, try strategies between sessions, and adjust the plan as needed.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for check-ins during breaks from work. It also supports steady progress on issues like sleep, anxiety, panic attacks, career stress, and grief by keeping momentum between in-person visits if those are part of a plan.
