I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with over 10 years of experience working as a psychotherapist, mental health, and substance misuse counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, PTSD, relationship issues, parenting challenges, career issues, OCD, ADHD, and dual diagnoses. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional setbacks.
My counseling style is warm, welcoming, and supportive. I engage everyone in a respectful, affirming claim and nonjudgmental way. My approach is a blend of cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, solution-focused, and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our therapeutic relationship and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
I am here to support and empower you through courageous exploration towards the possibility of change and engage the process of seeking a more fulfilling and happier life through the explorative process.
I look forward to our journey together.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for JoAnn McKinney. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Joann instantly made me feel supported. She validates my feelings she helps me set goals and she reassures me about my resources and coping techniques like Journaling and more organization. When I am swinging back and forth, I feel like she brings me back to my "center"
