About JoAnn
JoAnn Park is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 30 years of experience. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, trauma, depression, parenting pressures, grief, and related concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and her work reflects a long history with substance use treatment and mood disorders.
JoAnn adapts her approach to the person in front of her. She names psychodynamic work as a base and draws on other methods depending on what each person needs. That means conversations can look different from one person to the next. Some people focus on current patterns, others want practical steps to manage symptoms.
She has spent many years supporting people with substance misuse and is familiar with Alcoholics Anonymous and addiction-related recovery work. She also has deep experience with anxiety and depression and the day-to-day problems they create at home and work. JoAnn acknowledges faith as part of her identity while respecting other beliefs.
In sessions she listens for recurring patterns and for the immediate problems that cause distress. She uses techniques that range from exploring emotional histories to teaching coping skills and mindfulness practices. The goal is to find what helps someone feel steadier and clearer about their next steps.
People who want practical conversations about family tension, parenting strain, intimacy issues, or managing loss may find her direct, experience-based style useful. To begin, readers are asked to follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches fit into online sessions
JoAnn uses psychodynamic work to look at recurring emotional patterns and how early relationships shape current reactions. This helps when people notice the same conflicts reappearing in their relationships or parenting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also part of her toolkit and focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depression.Finding the right mix of methods is treated as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Over early sessions they decide together whether to lean more on exploring history, practicing CBT techniques, or adding mindfulness skills for stress management.
